1952 Map of Seward D-1

About this map

Glacier Island dominates this maritime landscape within Prince William Sound, its complex coastline defined by deep indentations like Chamberlain Bay and Growler Bay. In the early 1950s, this area of the Chugach National Forest remained largely undeveloped, characterized by isolated Cabins and navigational landmarks for those traversing the Alaskan coast. To the north, the massive Columbia Glacier discharges into the head of Columbia Bay, while Long Bay provides sheltered waters behind Schrader Island. The map records a series of named points and coves crucial for maritime navigation, such as Slipper Pt and Useless Cove, reflecting the practical nomenclature of mariners and hunters who navigated these waters before more modern infrastructure arrived.
