About this map

Chenega Glacier and Tigertail Glacier dominate the northwestern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where immense ice fields descend directly into the waters of Icy Bay and Nassau Fiord. This mid-century survey reveals a highly complex coastline defined by deep glacial fjords and significant island masses, most notably Bainbridge Island and the northern tip of Evans Island. The hydrography, compiled from earlier maritime charts, shows deep-water soundings throughout Port Swanson and Whale Bay, highlighting the maritime importance of these passages before more modern tectonic shifts altered the region. Notable landmarks such as Claw Peak and Dual Head provide navigational relief against the heavily glaciated terrain, while smaller coastal features like Procession Rocks and Goat Harbor offer specific points of interest for those tracing the historical geography of the Prince William Sound area.
