1952 Map of Seward C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Perry Island and its surrounding waters dominate this maritime survey of Prince William Sound, where several small Cabins and a Lighthouse Reserve mark the sparse human footprint in the Chugach National Forest. The complex coastline of the island is defined by deep inlets like West Twin Bay and South Bay, which provided sheltered anchorage for coastal navigators in the early 1950s. To the west, the narrow Perry Passage separates the main landmass from Culross Island. Further south, the map illustrates the glacial topography of the mainland, characterized by Main Bay and the drainage of Falls Lake into Falls Bay. This survey captures the remote character of the sound during a period of active hydrographic study, showing soundings across Port Nellie Juan and Lone Passage.
