1950 Map of Seward A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Kenai Mountains and Chugach Mountains dominate this 1950 topographical study, revealing a landscape defined by massive ice fields and deep coastal inlets before mid-century shifts. At the center of the sheet, the Seward Base Line provides a surveying anchor for the surrounding wilderness of the Chugach National Forest. The map documents the extensive reach of the Godwin Glacier and Ellsworth Glacier, which feed into the glacial waters of Day Harbor and Nellie Juan Lake. Along the southern coastline, the Resurrection Peninsula separates the open harbor from secluded maritime features like Bowen Anchorage and Talus Bay. This 1950 data, compiled from aerial photography, captures the precise extent of the Bear Glacier and the headwaters of the South Fork Snow River during a period of significant glacial presence in the region.
