1951 Map of Seward B-2

About this map

Knight Island dominates this maritime survey of Prince William Sound, showcasing a landscape of complex inlets and isolated outposts within the Chugach National Forest. The map details a rugged coastal economy where cabins are scattered near Lower Passage and Green Island. Industrial activity is centered on a mine near Rua Cove, tucked beneath the slopes of Iron Mountain. Navigation is a central theme, with soundings throughout the Bay of Isles and Snug Harbor, along with critical landmarks such as Yellow Cliffs and Pennsylvania Rock. Remote freshwater features like Otter Lake provide a contrast to the deep saltwater arms of West Arm and South Arm. This 1951 documentation captures a period of early post-war coastal surveying, preserving the location of seasonal settlements and resource extraction sites long before modern developments.
