1951 Map of Stepovak Bay

About this map

Perryville stands as a primary coastal settlement along the southeastern edge of the Alaska Peninsula, overlooking a complex network of bays and archipelagos in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the proximity of the Pacific Ocean to the rugged interior, with distinct features like the Granville Portage suggesting historical transit routes across the peninsula's narrow neck. Along the coast, small outposts and maritime landmarks such as Bales Ldg and Louies Corner mark the era's human footprint.
