1951 Map of Seldovia D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Kenai National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic study, showcasing a landscape defined by the massive glacial systems of the Kenai Mountains. This survey, based on 1950 aerial photography, provides a frozen look at the expansive Harding Icefield and its radiating ice flows. The intricate glacial margins are documented with remarkable detail, from the northern Tustumena Glacier and Moose Range to the southern reaches of McCarty Glacier and Northwestern Glacier. The terrain terminates at the saltwater edge of Harris Bay, where the glaciers meet the sea. In this era, the region remained an unroaded wilderness, as indicated by the note that no roads or trails existed in the area at the time of the 1951 field annotation. The map preserves the exact positions of Chernof Glacier and its neighbors before decades of subsequent environmental change.
