1948 Map of Craig A-1

About this map

Cholmondeley Sound and Moira Sound dominate this coastal landscape on Prince of Wales Island, illustrating the maritime-dependent settlement patterns of the late 1940s. The presence of a Cannery at Cannery Pt and a Mine near Paul Lake highlights the era's reliance on the region's natural resources. Several locations are already noted as inactive by the time of publication, including the settlements of Dolomie and Niblack, providing a record of shifting industrial priorities in the Alexander Archipelago. Deep inlets like Dora Bay and Dickman Bay cut into the mountainous interior, which peaks at Eucora Mountain. The map details a network of freshwater bodies such as Miller Lake and Kegan Lake, alongside coastal landmarks like Hump I and Deichman I that served as vital navigation points for local watercraft.
