1953 Map of Seward

About this map

Sargent Icefield and Harding Icefield dominate the high country of the Kenai Peninsula, where massive glacial systems flow into the intricate fjords of south-central Alaska. This topographic-bathymetric survey illustrates the maritime and mountain geography of the mid-20th century, centering on the port of Seward at the head of Resurrection Bay. The Alaska Railroad provides a vital transportation spine, winding through the mountains from the coast to Portage and north toward Rainbow.
