1950 Map of Cordova C-8

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Goose Island and the neighboring coastline of Prince William Sound define this 1950 coastal survey. The map emphasizes the maritime character of the region, specifically around the waters of Snug Corner Cove. While much of the terrain is characterized by the prominent rises at Knowles Head and Porcupine Pt, human presence is noted by a cluster of Cabins on the western shore of Goose Island. This map provides a detailed record of shoreline geometry and hydrographic depths recorded during the mid-twentieth century, capturing the area before significant changes in navigational mapping standards. The inclusion of Gull Island and other small outcrops highlights the specific maritime hazards and sheltered waters that defined the local geography for those living in or traveling through this part of Alaska.
