1951 Map of Seward A-1

About this map

Montague Island dominates this 1951 topographic study, its rugged interior defined by high elevations like Montague Peak and the southern stretch of the Chugach National Forest. The coastal environment is marked by significant geological and navigational markers, from the Purple Bluff in the southwest to the sheltered waters of Port Chalmers and Wilby Island in the north. Settlement is sparse in this era, noted primarily by Lagoon Cabins tucked along the western shoreline.
