1995 Map of Seward D-3
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
Glacial landscapes and marine industry converge on Esther Island within the Chugach National Forest. The map documents the northern reaches of Prince William Sound, where the Crescent Glacier, Tommy Glacier, and Cap Glacier dominate the high terrain above Port Wells. Coastal activity is concentrated around Esther Passage and the southern shore, featuring a Fish Hatchery (Pvt) and Oyster Farm (Pvt) near Eaglek Bay. The presence of the Golden (Site) on the northern coast points to earlier settlement history in this remote area. Navigational aids like the Point Esther Light and the routes of the Alaska Marine Highway illustrate how the region remained connected by water rather than roads, serving as a corridor between Wells Passage and the surrounding wilderness areas of Granite Bay State Marine Park.
