1953 Map of Seldovia C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Kachemak Glacier and the Dinglestadt Glacier dominate the high-altitude landscape of the southern Kenai Mountains in this early 1950s survey. This coastal wilderness is defined by its deep fjords and glacial drainage, where the Nuka River cuts through the western terrain toward the complex waterways of Beauty Bay and the West Arm. The mapping detail captures several maritime landmarks such as Pilot Harbor and James Lagoon, alongside a few isolated cabins that indicate a sparse human footprint in this period. The survey also identifies the southwestern boundary of the Kenai National Moose Range. Geodetic control points like Mt Diablo and prominent peaks like Storm Mountain serve as essential navigational markers among the numerous unnamed crevasses and rocky outcrops characterizing the peninsula's interior.
