1951 Map of Seldovia A-6

About this map

Cook Inlet and the Gulf of Alaska dominate this maritime survey, illustrating the convergence of major Alaskan waters at the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The landscape is defined by its coastal reaches and submerged bathymetry, featuring the prominent Cape Elizabeth and the adjacent Elizabeth Island. To the north, the protected waters of Koyuktolik Bay provide a distinct contrast to the open sea. While the majority of the sheet covers deep-water soundings, the northeastern corner captures a rugged piece of the Chugach Islands. This 1951 photogrammetric record identifies an area with no roads or trails, documenting the raw shoreline and its offshore hazards before later development or maritime changes.
