1953 Map of Seldovia B-6

About this map

Cook Inlet defines the western expanse of this coastal study, where the rugged shoreline of the Kenai Peninsula meets the sea at the mouth of Port Graham. The settlement of Alexandrovsk sits on the southern shore of English Bay, a location marked by its deep maritime and colonial history. To the north, evidence of early industrial activity is visible at Coal Cove, which features a noted Coal Mine and the treacherous Dangerous Cape Reefs. The terrain rises sharply from the water towards the summit of Mt Bede, providing a clear picture of the landforms between English Bay Reef and the southern waters of Koyuktolik Bay. A solitary Cabin and distinct markers like Russian Pt and Magnet Rks indicate a landscape primarily navigated by water, where landmarks like the Flat Islands served as critical guides for vessels entering the passage.
