1997 Map of Seward D-2

About this map

Chugach National Forest frames this remote stretch of the Alaska coast, where the landscape is defined by deep glacial fjords like Unakwik Inlet and Wells Bay. The map captures a moment in the late twentieth century when human presence was limited to small maritime outposts and private ventures. Along the shore of Prince William Sound, the settlement of Kiniklik and various Cabin Ruins suggest the enduring but sparse history of coastal habitation. This era of mapping shows the essential role of waterborne transport, with the Alaska Marine Highway (Summer Route) cutting across the sound, connecting isolated points of interest such as the Oyster Farm (Pvt) and a designated Seaplane Anchorage. The numerous islands, including Olsen Island and Fairmount Island, serve as landmarks for navigation in a region where roads are entirely absent and the sea is the primary thoroughfare.
