1952 Map of Seward B-2

About this map

The complex shoreline of Knight Island dominates this mid-century survey of the central Prince William Sound. The map documents a rugged landscape within the Chugach National Forest, characterized by deep inlets such as Herring Bay and the Bay of Isles. On the eastern shore of Knight Island, the presence of a Mine (Abn) near Rua Cove points to the area's early 20th-century prospecting history, while several Cabins and tidal benchmarks like BM (Tidal) 3 indicate pockets of activity along the coast. To the southeast, Green Island provides a natural buffer for Gibbon Anchorage, a key refuge for maritime traffic. Numerous small landforms, including Disk Island and Seal I, are meticulously charted alongside bathymetric soundings, illustrating the navigational hazards and sheltered waters of Snug Harbor and Lower Passage before the landscape was altered by later seismic activity.
