1951 Map of Craig A-4

About this map

Dall Island and Suemez Island dominate this coastal survey, defined by a labyrinth of fjords and narrow inlets within the Tongass National Forest. The 1951 field data highlights a concentrated area of industrial activity at View Cove, where a Limestone Quarry and associated Tanks are serviced by a Seaplane Base, illustrating the reliance on air and sea transport in this roadless maritime environment. These water-bound reaches, including the deep Manhattan Arm and Hook Arm, reveal a landscape where naming conventions like Cape Lookout and Hole-in-the-Wall reflect the navigational hazards and landmarks of the Tlevak Strait. The interior is marked by significant peaks such as Thunder Mtn and Bear Mtn, which rise sharply above the forested shoreline.
