1953 Map of Seldovia C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Grewingk Glacier and the massive ice fields of the Kenai Mountains dominate this 1953 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by glacial flow and coastal transition. Along the eastern shores of Kachemak Bay, the map documents scattered cabins at Bear Cove and near the Aurora Spit, indicating the sparse seasonal or maritime settlement of the era. The hydrography, compiled from coastal charts, shows the intricate drainage of the Martin River and Battle Creek feeding into the bay from the high mountain interior. Several distinct glaciers, including Dixon Glacier and Portlock Glacier, are shown with extensive crevasses at their higher elevations, providing a clear record of these ice bodies before mid-century changes. The presence of Bradley Lake and the Aurora Lagoon further highlight the diverse aquatic environments found where the glacial runoff meets the tidal waters of the Kenai Peninsula.
