1952 Map of Seward D-4

About this map

Harriman Fiord and the surrounding coastal wilderness of the Chugach National Forest define this 1952 topographic study of Prince William Sound. The landscape is dominated by active glacial systems, including the massive Harriman Glacier, Roaring Glacier, and Dirty Glacier, which feed directly into the deep marine waters. Evidence of early 20th-century industry is visible through the Granite Mine near Harrison Lagoon and the Lansing Mine overlooking Bettles Bay, marking the era's mineral exploration. Navigational aids like the Pt Pigot Light and landmarks such as Decision Pt guide the way through Passage Canal and Port Wells. Localized activity is noted at Logging Camp Bay and various scattered Cabin sites, reflecting a period of temporary maritime and resource-based settlement along the shoreline of Blackstone Bay and Cochrane Bay.
