1953 Map of Seldovia D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Harding Icefield dominates this 1953 topographic study, illustrating the glacial systems of the southern Kenai Peninsula before modern climate shifts. Large ice flows including Tustumena Glacier, Mc Carty Glacier, and Chernof Glacier carve through the Kenai Mountains, their surfaces marked by complex Crevasses. The map captures the wilderness character of the Kenai National Moose Range, documenting the northern boundary of the range as it was defined in the mid-20th century. To the southeast, the Northwestern Glacier descends toward the maritime terminus at Harris Bay. This map provides a baseline for geologists and environmental historians to track the terminus positions and ice volume of these major Alskan glacial systems during a period of relative stability before late-century retreat.
