1951 Map of Seward C-4

About this map

The Port Nellie Juan shoreline and the surrounding intricate fjords of western Prince William Sound define this 1951 topographic survey. Industrial activity is centered at the Port Nellie Juan Cannery, a remote outpost marking the intersection of the maritime economy and the glacial landscape. The coastal terrain is defined by deep incisions like Cochrane Bay and McClure Bay, while the interior of the mainland and Culross Island is dotted with alpine water bodies such as Lake Shrode and Lake Jack. Human presence is sparse, indicated primarily by the cannery and a isolated Shelter Cabin near the shoreline. To the northwest, the massive Tebenkof Glacier descends toward the sea, leaving a broad Tidal Flat in its wake, illustrating the dynamic glacial recession occurring mid-century.
