1948 Map of Craig A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Prince of Wales Island is deeply incised by the waters of Cholmondeley Sound and Dickman Bay in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by complex waterways and significant freshwater basins, including the large Dora Lake, Miller Lake, and Kegan Lake. Near the eastern coast, the settlement at Dolomite and the nearby Dolomi Mtn stand near the shores of Johnson Port. Along the North Arm, a Cannery reflects the coastal industry of the era, while Niblack Anchorage and its associated Niblack Lake sit further south. The topography rises sharply to Eudora Mountain, with numerous drainages like Kugel Creek and Myrtle Creek connecting the interior highland lakes to the surrounding sound. This map documents a period of maritime-focused settlement, where life was oriented toward the harbors, coves, and the island's interior water systems.
