About this map

Suemez Island and the rugged southwestern coastline of Prince of Wales Island dominate this coastal landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a maritime environment defined by complex inlets like Sea Otter Harbor and Bobs Bay, where the shoreline is punctuated by landmark peaks such as Bear Mtn and Thunder Mtn. Industrial activity is evident in the southeastern corner, where a Logging Camp and a Limestone Quarry are situated near View Cove. These features highlight the mid-century transition toward resource extraction in Southeast Alaska. The intricate network of passages, including Meares Passage and Tlevak Strait, provides a clear view of the navigational challenges and sheltered harbors used by fishing and timber vessels throughout the late 20th century.
