1952 Map of Seward D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The gold-mining history of the Kenai Peninsula is etched into the landscape of Chugach National Forest in this early 1950s survey. Settlements like Sunrise and Swetmann Camp serve as focal points for a network of industrial operations, including the Connolly Mine, Hirshey Mine, and Sunshine Mine. The map documents the vital transportation corridors of the era, notably the Alaska Railroad as it skirts the northern shore of Turnagain Arm near Indian and Bird. Along the southern banks, the Seward Highway follows the rugged coastline past Windy Point. The interior is defined by steep drainages such as Sixmile Creek and Canyon Creek, where numerous cabins and small-scale mining claims like the Byron Ray Mine are located. Genealogists will find the locations of the Sunrise Cemetery and Hope Cem particularly valuable for tracing local pioneer history.
