About this map

Glacier Island dominates this coastal survey within Prince William Sound, showing the intricate shoreline of the Chugach National Forest in the early 1950s. The northern reaches are defined by the massive Columbia Glacier and the protected waters of Columbia Bay and Long Bay. The map documents a sparsely populated maritime landscape where small cabins are the only signs of human habitation, scattered along Irish Cove, Growler Bay, and the southern coast of Glacier Island. This era captures the region prior to major environmental shifts, recording precise soundings and topographic elevations. Geographic landmarks like Bull Head, Iceberg Pt, and Heather Island serve as vital navigational aids for this rugged section of the Third Judicial Division.
