1959 Map of Icy Bay D-2 and D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Guyot Bay and the shoreline of Icy Bay define this mid-century view of the Alaskan coast near Icy Cape. The map documents a dynamic landscape where the Gulf of Alaska meets a network of glacial rivers and coastal features, including the Yahtse River and Big River. Remote infrastructure is represented by a Landing Strip situated near Priest River, reflecting the era's reliance on bush aviation for coastal access. To the east, the Riou Bay area contains distinctive geographical markers like Point Riou Spit and the secluded Sacred Lake. The presence of Moraine Island and Moraine Reef highlights the visible impact of glacial movement on the coastal topography, providing a detailed record of the shoreline before the minor revisions of the early 1980s.
