1951 Map of Seldovia A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Kachemak Bay State Wilderness Park dominates the northern shoreline of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape of the Kenai Peninsula Borough meets the vast Gulf of Alaska. Compiled from 1951 aerial photography with minor revisions through the early 1970s, the map documents a transition from the sheltered waters of Rocky Bay and Windy Bay to the open sea. The presence of a Light at the southern tip of East Chugach Island underscores the importance of maritime navigation around the Chugach Islands. This topographic study captures the shoreline before extensive modern development, showing the pristine state of the park and the isolated landmarks like Gore Rock that serve as vital reference points for coastal travelers. The lack of roads or trails noted in the margin emphasizes the wilderness character of the region during the mid-20th century.
