1951 Map of Seward A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Harding Icefield dominates the southern landscape of this 1951 survey, a glacial expanse punctuated by numerous crevasses that illustrate the dynamic nature of the Kenai Peninsula's interior. This high-altitude wilderness transitions from the frozen plateau into the jagged Kenai Mountains, where the massive Lowell Glacier descends toward the coast. The mapping of the Seward Base Line across this difficult terrain highlights the surveyor's efforts to establish a grid in a region largely defined by ice and rock.
