1951 Map of Cordova D-8

About this map

Ellamar and Tatitlek serve as the primary hubs for this maritime landscape along the Valdez Arm and Prince William Sound. The map illustrates a coastline defined by industrial and transportation activity in the mid-20th century, notably featuring the Wagner Mine and Rua Mine located on the slopes of Ellamar Mountain. The waters of Galena Bay and Port Fidalgo surround large landforms like Bligh Island, while the presence of a Seaplane Base near Virgin Bay highlights the era's reliance on air and sea travel for connectivity. Cultural markers including a Cem near the Tatitlek Narrows and various Cabin sites provide key points of interest for genealogists tracing local families or early coastal settlements.
