1952 Map of Seward B-6

About this map

The Kenai Mountains dominate this 1950s landscape, where the ice and elevation of the Chugach National Forest dictated movement and seasonal habitation. In the high backcountry, a cluster of Cabins sits on the northern shore of Grant Lake, representing the sparse human footprint in this wilderness during the mid-century era. Access through the difficult terrain was limited to established routes such as the Ptarmigan Lake Trail and the Paradise Valley Trail, which tracked the low ground between massive ice fields.
