1952 Map of Seward C-4

About this map

Tebenkof Glacier dominates the northwestern terrain of this maritime landscape, feeding into a complex system of fjords and inlets within Prince William Sound. The early 1950s geography is defined by deep water bodies like Cochrane Bay and Port Nellie Juan, which reveal the area's reliance on marine transport and coastal industry. A primary human landmark is the Port Nellie Juan Cannery, situated along the eastern shore of Mc Clure Bay, serving as a focal point for the region's commercial fishing economy during this era. Interior landforms include Lake Shrode and Lake Jack, while the intricate coastline features numerous protected anchorages such as Goose Bay and Surprise Cove. The map also documents significant landmasses including Culross Island and Applegate Island, separated by the navigable Culross Passage.
