1952 Map of Seward B-4

About this map

Sargent Ice Field dominates the western interior of this coastal Alaskan landscape, feeding a massive system of tidewater and hanging glaciers including the Princeton Glacier and the Chenega Glacier. This mid-century survey captures the glaciated coastline of the Chugach National Forest before significant modern changes, documenting a complex network of deep-water inlets such as Blue Fiord and Nassau Fiord. To the east, the map details the intricate shoreline of Chenega Island and the neighboring Jackpot Island within the waters of Dangerous Passage. Landforms like Saddle Peak and significant inland bodies of water such as Ewan Lake and Eshamy Lake provide critical reference points for understanding the hydrologic and topographic character of the Prince William Sound region during this era.
