1951 Map of Seward D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Sixmile Creek and its many tributaries carve through the mountainous terrain of the Chugach National Forest in this early 1950s record of the Kenai Peninsula. The settlement of Sunrise serves as a focal point for the region's mining activity, evidenced by the nearby Connolly Mine and Sunshine Mine. To the north, the Alaska Railroad and the Alaska Highway 1 skirt the edges of the expansive mud flats along Turnagain Arm, connecting small stops like Indian and Bird. The landscape is a mix of industrial extraction and early transportation infrastructure, with the Seward Highway winding south toward Silvertip. Local history is anchored at the Sunrise Cemetery and Hope Cem, while the presence of Swetmann Camp and several family-named landmarks like VABM Nelson suggest the localized nature of mountain settlement during this era.
