1948 Map of Craig A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Prince of Wales Island at the mid-century reveals a landscape shaped by a fading era of industrial extraction. The complex coastline of Hetta Inlet and Nutkwa Inlet is dotted with evidence of earlier copper mining booms, featuring sites like Coppermount, the Corbin Mine (Aband), and Copper City (Aband). These locations, along with Hetta (Aband), illustrate the boom-and-bust cycle of southeastern Alaska's mineral history.
