1995 Map of Seward D-1

About this map

Glacier Island dominates this maritime survey of Prince William Sound, where the complex coastline of the Chugach National Forest meets the sea. The map reveals a landscape defined by seasonal access and remote outposts, featuring a cabin and cabin ruins near a boat dock on the island's northern shore. Maritime navigation is central to the area, evidenced by the Alaska Marine Highway ferry route cutting through the sound and a light marking the eastern approach to Finski Bay. North of the island, the massive Columbia Bay opens toward the Iceberg Impoundment Area, suggesting the dynamic glacial environment that shapes these waters. Smaller features like Billys Hole and Fish Pass indicate localized naming of narrow passages and coves, while Heather Island and Schrader Island provide sheltered anchorages amidst the deep inlets.
