1950 Map of Seward A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Harding Icefield dominates this 1950 survey, serving as a massive glacial heart from which several large frozen tongues descend into the surrounding Kenai Mountains. This frozen landscape is punctuated by numerous crevasses, particularly where the ice transitions into the Bear Glacier and Lowell Glacier. The map illustrates a harsh, high-altitude environment where the topography is defined more by ice flow and elevation than by human settlement, as evidenced by the lack of roads or trails noted in the margin.
