About this map

Seldovia serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, situated between Seldovia Bay and the Seldovia Lagoon. The mapping reveals a remote maritime economy and settlement pattern defined by the dramatic shoreline of the Kenai Mountains. To the south, Indian Village sits along the narrow inlet, while Port Graham occupies the shores of its namesake port, Port Graham, tucked behind the protection of Isle Pt.

The landscape is marked by the transition from the tidal flats of Seleni Mud Lagoon to the high elevations of Mt Mills. Geographic landmarks like Camel Rock, Red Bluff, and Gray Cliff provide essential navigation references along the coast. The interior is largely roadless, with only a Landing Strip near Jakolof Bay and a single Mine entry noted, highlighting the region's reliance on water and air transport during the early 1950s.
