1953 Map of Seward

About this map

The Kenai Mountains and the Chugach Mountains dominate this 1950s survey of south-central Alaska, revised with early 1980s data to show the region as it transitioned into the modern era. The Seward Highway and The Alaska Railroad serve as the primary terrestrial lifelines, threading through narrow mountain passes to connect coastal Seward with the Municipality of Anchorage to the north. Smaller settlements like Moose Pass, Hope, and Sunrise mark the long-standing interior hubs of the peninsula.
