1951 Map of Cordova D-6

About this map

Port Fidalgo and Port Gravina define the intricate coastline of this 1951 coastal Alaskan survey, revealing a landscape shaped by glacial activity and deep-water inlets. The topography is dominated by the steep ascent toward Meteorite Mtn and the expansive ice fields marked by numerous crevasses at the northern heights. A solitary cabin situated along the northern shore of Port Fidalgo suggests the seasonal or subsistence-based human presence common in the region during the mid-20th century. The intricate drainage systems, including the West Fork and East Fork of Olsen Creek, lead into sheltered waters like Olsen Bay, highlighting the complex hydrology of the Chugach National Forest. The map also details early geodetic control points such as VABM Duck and VABM Bar, which were essential for mapping these remote stretches of the Prince William Sound area.
