1949 Map of Seldovia C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Kachemak Bay dominates this coastal landscape, providing a deep-water inlet defined by the prominent extension of the Homer Spit. Surveyed in the late 1940s, the map reveals a sparsely settled but strategically significant maritime environment. Early infrastructure is evident at the Homer Airport and a waterfront Sawmill, while coastal navigation is supported by the Homer Light at Coal Point and an additional Light near Ismailof Island. Settlement patterns are concentrated at Millers Landing and around the sheltered waters of Halibut Cove. The topography transitions sharply from the tidal reaches of Beaver Flats and China Poot Bay to the high ground of Lookout Mountain. Distinctive landmarks like the Archimandritof Shoals and the glacial deltas feeding into the bay illustrate the dynamic geological processes shaping the Kenai Peninsula coastline during this era.
