I suspected you got the sheet number from this or something similar.
However this does not mean the quadrangle was ever published or if
published distributed to libraries. I figured out after several patron
requests and several tries that many of the detailed topo quadrangles
regularly shown and shown to this day on the printed USGS indexes in
the Aleutian islands and several other major islands off the Alaskan
mainland were either never printed, never made public, or never
distributed to libraries. It is probable but not certain that these
were ascertained to be too close to Russia (ie of course the Soviet
Union).

Seward is an entirely different matter. But the generality still
holds. USGS does not necessarily double check these things to make
sure that the public indexing correlates to the public availability.
Nor does the reverse necessarily occur. They do indeed distribute
things they never index.
