1952 Map of Seward C-1

About this map

Naked Island dominates this maritime survey of the central Prince William Sound, where the terrain rises sharply from the deep glacial waters of the Chugach National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of passages and bays, including McPherson Passage and McPherson Bay, which separate the larger island from its northern neighbor, Peak Island. To the south, Smith Island provides a rare point of human interest on this 1952 chart, featuring a small cluster of Cabins and a designated Lighthouse Reserve on its eastern tip near Henry. These few labels suggest the early infrastructure for navigation and seasonal residence in an area primarily used for fishing and maritime transit. The detailed bathymetry throughout the sound highlights the extreme depths and underwater contours surrounding landmarks like East Point and Elk Head Point.
