1951 Map of Seward A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Montague Strait dominates this maritime survey, carving a deep-water passage between the massive eastern shores of Montague Island and the jagged southern reach of Knight Island. Based on 1951 aerial photography with revisions through the 1980s, the map documents a largely unsettled coastal wilderness within the Chugach National Forest. Evidence of human activity is scarce, marked only by a lone Cabin on the southern island's eastern flank. The complex coastline is defined by features like Snug Harbor and Hogan Bay, while smaller landmasses such as Green Island and Little Green Island dot the strait. Significant elevations are noted at Horn Mountain, providing a stark contrast to the charted depths and submerged hazards like The Needle that dictate navigation in these cold Alaskan waters.
