1953 Map of Seldovia B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Seldovia sits as a vital coastal hub on the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula, where the waters of Kachemak Bay and Seldovia Bay meet. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of isolated maritime settlements and rugged inland peaks, featuring the Indian Village south of the primary townsite and the remote outpost at Port Graham. The coastal geography is marked by intricate features such as Jakolof Bay, Selenie Lagoon, and the protective reach of Nubble Pt. Inland, the terrain rises sharply into the Kenai Mountains, where the Seldovia River drains from Seldovia Lake toward the sea. The distribution of scattered cabins along the shoreline and the presence of an Air Strip near the town center underscore the reliance on air and sea travel in this roadless era of Alaskan territory history.
