1963 Map of Seldovia

About this map

Seldovia serves as the focal point for the southern Kenai Peninsula in this mid-century survey, which reveals a maritime landscape defined by isolated coastal outposts and immense glacial systems. The topography transitions from the massive Harding Icefield and its numerous outlets, such as Tustumena Glacier, down to the intricate shorelines of Kachemak Bay. Notable settlements of the era include Homer and the distinctive Homer Spit, along with smaller communities like Anchor Point and Happy Valley along the western coast. The map provides a detailed look at indigenous and industrial sites, including Indian Village near Seldovia Bay and the mining-related label at Chrome. To the north, the Kenai National Moose Range occupies the interior, while to the south, the Kenai Peninsula Borough boundary stretches across the Kennedy Entrance toward the Gulf of Alaska.
