1955 Map of Bradfield canal A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Ernest Sound and Seward Passage dominate the western portion of this mid-century maritime survey, framing the complex coastline of the Tongass National Forest. The map reveals an intricate network of inland water bodies and drainage systems, most notably the connection between Anan Bay, Anan Lagoon, and the long, linear profile of Anan Lake. This area of Southeast Alaska is defined by its deep saltwater channels and high-elevation freshwater lakes, such as Boulder Lake and Lake Rowena. Evidence of human presence is sparse in this 1955 update, noted only by a lone Cabin near the mouth of Anan Creek. The coastal landscape is further characterized by significant landmasses like Wrangell Island and Blake Island situated at the mouth of the Bradfield Canal.
