1950 Map of Craig B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Prince of Wales Island dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing the complex maritime geography of the Alexander Archipelago before modern development. The map details the intricate coastlines and deep-water inlets that define the region's character, including the sprawling Skowl Arm and the protected waters of Chasina Anchorage. Navigation markers and topographic elevations provide a clear picture of the land-and-sea interface within the Tongass National Forest, from the heights of Clover Mtn and Nipple Butte to the sheltered interior of Clover Lake. The presence of labels like Saltery Cove and Trollers Cove points toward the established fishing and maritime traditions of the era. The mapping of small landforms such as Grindall Island and Patterson Island reflects the precision of early 1950s aerial photography and hydrographic compilation used to chart these Alaskan waters.
