1951 Map of Seward D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Glaciers and deep coastal inlets dominate this portion of the Chugach National Forest during the mid-century, where the Harriman Fiord and Port Wells meet. The landscape is defined by the massive ice flows of Roaring Glacier, Harriman Glacier, and Dirty Glacier, which carve into the northwestern mountains. Evidence of early 20th-century industry is found at the Granite Mine near Harrison Lagoon and the Lansing Mine situated above Pigot Bay. Maritime activity is concentrated around navigation aids like Pt Pigot Light and sheltered waters such as Logging Camp Bay. Isolated cabins along the shoreline of Bettles Bay and Hobo Bay suggest a sparse human presence primarily tied to resource extraction or seasonal work in the wilderness of the Greater Anchorage Area Borough.
