1953 Map of Seldovia A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Portlock and the surrounding coastal reaches of the southern Kenai Peninsula appear in this mid-century survey, highlighting a maritime and industrial landscape at the edge of the Gulf of Alaska. The presence of the Chrome (Aband) mine near Chrome Bay points to the region's history of mineral extraction, while a designated Seaplane Anchorage near Chatham Island underscores the vital role of air transport in this roadless archipelago. The topography is defined by prominent peaks like Cone Mtn and Rock Mtn, which rise sharply above the deep waters of Port Chatham and Chugach Bay. Significant coastal features, including Elizabeth Island and Perl Island, are mapped with precision, showing the intricate network of passages like the Chugach Passage that served as essential routes for local navigation and trade during the 1950s.
