1951 Map of Seward D-5
USGS Topo · Published 1993About this map
Whittier stands at the head of Passage Canal, serving as a critical rail-to-sea link for The Alaska Railroad in the early 1950s. The settlement's strategic geography is defined by the steep peaks of the Chugach Mountains, where the railroad pierces through to reach Portage Lake. This survey captures the region's intense glacial activity, from the sprawling Harriman Glacier to the ice-filled waters of Blackstone Bay and Surprise Glacier.
