1951 Map of Seward A-2

About this map

Montague Island dominates the southeastern quadrant of this coastal survey, its interior topography rising sharply from the Gulf of Alaska. Across the wide expanse of Montague Strait, the map details the intricate coastlines of Knight Island and Green Island. This maritime landscape is defined by its deep inlets and rocky hazards, such as The Needle standing isolated in the strait. The presence of Snug Harbor and Hogan Bay along the northwestern shorelines suggests the vital role of sheltered waters for vessels navigating this portion of the Chugach National Forest. The map also captures the path of the Beach River as it cuts through the terrain of Montague Island, providing a detailed record of the hydrography and elevation before later seismic shifts in the region.
