1952 Map of Seward C-1

About this map

Prince William Sound dominates this mid-century maritime survey, focusing on the remote archipelago within the Chugach National Forest. The map documents the intricate coastline and bathymetry surrounding Naked Island, Peak Island, and Smith Island, providing soundings in feet and detailed topographic relief of the landforms. On the southern edge of the sheet, the presence of Cabins on Smith Island suggests seasonal habitation or maritime shelter, while the designated Lighthouse Reserve at the island's eastern end points to the critical importance of navigational aids in these northern waters. Narrow waterways like Liljegren Passage and McPherson Passage separate the islands, which feature numerous named coastal points such as Elk Head Point and East Point. This document serves as a precise record of the shoreline and maritime infrastructure before more modern developments, showing the sound as it functioned for mariners in the early 1950s.
