1953 Map of Seldovia C-1

About this map

Mc Carty Glacier and Dinglestadt Glacier dominate this coastal expanse of the Kenai Mountains, where ice meets the tide-water inlets of the Gulf of Alaska. Mapped from 1950 aerial photography, the landscape is defined by deep fjords and jagged promontories, including Paguna Arm and Taroka Arm branching off from Two Arm Bay. The interior includes portions of the Kenai National Moose Range, highlighting a wilderness largely untouched by permanent settlement or infrastructure at the time of the survey. Significant coastal features like Cloudy Mtn and Cloudy Cape serve as landmark markers for the entrance to Thunder Bay, while the retreat of ice is evidenced by the positioning of Delight Lake and Mc Carty Lagoon behind the terminal moraines of the larger glacial systems.
