1948 Map of Craig A-3
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Hydaburg stands as the primary settlement on this portion of Prince of Wales Island, situated at the entrance to the Sukkwan Narrows. The 1948 survey illustrates a landscape of dense islands and intricate waterways, including Sukkwan Island and the northern tip of Dall Island. The map highlights the complex maritime geography of the region, where Sukkwan Strait and Tlevak Strait provide passage through the Alexander Archipelago. Inland features like Kasook Lake and the Hydaburg River suggest the subsistence and transport patterns of the Haida people in their traditional territory. The presence of Tidal Flat areas near the town and various islets like Scrag Is and the Nichols Islands further define the littoral environment within the Tongass National Forest.
