1951 Map of Seward A-1

About this map

Montague Island dominates this maritime landscape along the northeast entry to Prince William Sound, as documented through aerial photography and field annotation. The terrain is defined by the steep elevation of Zaikof Peak and the southern exposure of Purple Bluff Falls facing the open Gulf of Alaska. Near the northern sheltered waters of Port Chalmers, a Gaging Sta and small landforms like Wilby Island and Channel Island suggest the remote utility of this coastal reach during the mid-20th century.
