1952 Map of Seward A-4

About this map

Chenega Glacier and Tiger Glacier dominate the upper northwestern corner of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where massive ice fields meet the complex waterways of Prince William Sound. The 1952 topographic survey reveals a rugged maritime environment defined by the presence of Bainbridge Island, which is separated from the mainland by the deep channel of Bainbridge Passage. The coastline is heavily indented with numerous protective inlets like Hogg Bay, Swanson Bay, and Auk Bay, while prominent landmarks such as Claw Peak and Dual Head provide navigational points for vessels moving through Prince of Wales Passage. The map also captures several smaller glaciers, including the Tigertail Glacier and Bainbridge Glacier, illustrating the significant glaciated terrain that characterizes the Chugach National Forest region during the mid-twentieth century.
