1952 Map of Seward D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The coastal military and transit hub of Whittier serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the head of Passage Canal. The landscape is defined by the massive ice fields of the Chugach Mountains, including the expansive Harriman Glacier, Portage Glacier, and Whittier Glacier. This era shows the critical transportation infrastructure linking Prince William Sound to the interior, most notably the Alaska Railroad Tunnel and the Portage Tunnel through the steep mountain walls.
