1952 Map of Seldovia A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Cape Elizabeth and the rugged Chugach Islands mark the entrance to southern waters where the Cook Inlet meets the open Gulf of Alaska. This maritime survey, based on 1951 aerial photography and hydrography from nautical charts, provides a detailed look at the coastal interface of the Kenai Peninsula in the early 1950s. The map focuses heavily on the bathymetry and soundings of the inlet, showing depth contours and underwater hazards critical for navigation. Elizabeth Island sits prominently at the tip of the peninsula, while the sheltered waters of Koyuktolik Bay are visible to the northeast, offering a glimpse into the landform's relationship with the unpredictable northern seas before more modern coastal development took place.
