1953 Map of Seldovia A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Chugach Islands stand as the southern sentinels of the Kenai Peninsula, marking where the dramatic coastline of south-central Alaska meets the open Gulf of Alaska. Surveyed in the early 1950s, this chart captures a rugged maritime environment defined by deep-water inlets like Windy Bay and Rocky Bay. The topographical detail focuses on the sharp elevation changes of the mainland and East Chugach Island, where steep slopes rise directly from the waterline to heights over 1,400 feet. Navigational hazards such as Gore Rock are clearly marked amidst the bathymetric depth curves, providing a critical perspective of the maritime approaches to the peninsula before modern satellite navigation. This survey represents the definitive mid-century recording of this remote coastal geography, emphasizing the relationship between the mountainous interior and the complex shoreline of the Pacific.
