1951 Map of Seldovia A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Gore Point anchors the coastline of the Kenai Peninsula Borough in this mid-century hydrographic and topographic study. The landscape is defined by the sharp protrusion of Gore Peak and the nearby navigational landmark of Arch Rock, overlooking the convergence of Port Dick and the open Gulf of Alaska. Based on 1951 aerial photography and field annotation, the map emphasizes the maritime environment, including detailed bathymetric soundings and depth curves that trace the underwater shelf beyond the rocky shoreline. The interior remains largely unsurveyed and unmarked at this time, characterized by steep coastal elevations that descend abruptly into the gulf, illustrating the maritime isolation of this stretch of the southern Kenai Peninsula before modern infrastructure.
