1987 Map of Seldovia B-5 NW

About this map

The coastal settlement of Seldovia serves as the primary focal point of this Kenai Peninsula study, situated at the entrance to Seldovia Bay. Compiled from 1980 aerial photography, the landscape is defined by its deep maritime connections, with navigation aids like the Light marking the approach to the docks and a local Landing Strip providing essential air access to this isolated shoreline. To the north, Kachemak Bay dominates the horizon, while the intricate coast is peppered with landmarks such as Camel Rock, Red Bluff, and Gray Cliff. The map provides a detailed view of the town's early infrastructure, including a local Cem and the protected waters of Seldovia Lagoon. Further south, the map traces the shoreline past Powder Island toward the waters of Port Graham, documenting the mix of steep coastal topography and tidal sloughs like Johnson Slough.
