About this map

Chilkat and the Cannery (Abandoned) stand as the primary signs of human industry along this stretch of the Alaska coast in 1950. The landscape is defined by the massive outflow of the Bering River and the Nichawak River, which deposit silt across the broad Mud flats of Controller Bay. Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Nichawak Mountain, while the coastline is protected by the elongated Okalee Spit and Kanak Island. This map reveals the dynamic nature of a shoreline shaped by glacial runoff and tidal action, specifically noting the Chugach National Forest Exclusion Area at the delta of the Campbell River. From remote Cabin sites to the surveyed landmarks like VABM Ber 1552, the survey documents a region where access depends entirely on the intricate network of channels like Okalee Channel.
