1952 Map of Seward D-6

About this map

Turnagain Arm dominates the landscape in this early 1950s survey, where the glacial waters meet the steep slopes of the Chugach National Forest. The map documents a critical transportation corridor along the northern shore, featuring the route of The Alaska Railroad and the Seward Anchorage Highway as they navigate the narrow strip between the mountains and the mudflats. Small outposts and resource-based sites like Kern and the Twentymile Sawmill (ABAND) speak to the era's industrial footprint.
