2018 Map of Seldovia B-3 SW

About this map

The southern reach of the Kenai Peninsula is defined by a complex maritime coastline where deep glacial inlets meet the Gulf of Alaska. This 2018 survey documents the intricate shoreline and steep bathymetry of the region, anchored by the wide mouth of Port Dick. The topographic data highlights the extreme elevation changes between the coastal waters and the interior mountain ridges, illustrating how the terrain naturally funnelled historical maritime access through sheltered anchorages. Significant nautical landmarks include Taylor Bay, which penetrates deep into the peninsula, and the smaller inlets of Sunday Harbor and Takoma Cove. These features represent critical points of refuge and navigation for the region's fishing and maritime industries, remaining largely undeveloped and preserved in their natural state.
