1953 Map of Seldovia B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Pye Islands and the coastal inlets of the Kenai Peninsula define this mid-century hydrographic study, where deep glacial coves meet the open Gulf of Alaska. The topography, derived from 1951 aerial photography, reveals a complex shoreline of sheltered waters like Moonlight Bay and Chance Lagoon. Navigation and maritime history are central to this area, as seen in the charting of Mc Arthur Pass and the surrounding soundings. These narrow passages and rocky outcroppings like Hoof Point and Steep Point shaped the travel and fishing patterns of the region before modern developments. The map provides a precise record of the shoreline and maritime hazards of the early 1950s, documenting the natural geography of Rabbit Island and the various coves that served as vital refuges for coastal vessels.
