1949 Map of Craig B-2

About this map

The coastal deeps and interior ridges of Prince of Wales Island reveal a landscape defined by maritime industry and mining during the mid-20th century. This map traces the intricate shorelines of the Twelvemile Arm, Polk Inlet, and McKenzie Inlet, where the settlement of Hollis and the community of Kasaan on Kasaan Island served as vital water-access points. The rugged interior is marked by significant topography like Beaver Mountain and Barren Mtn, interspersed with isolated water bodies such as Rock Lake and Lake Mary. Historical industrial activity is visible at the Khayyam Mine near McKenzie Rk, while the presence of Sulzer (Aban'd) on the Sulzer Passage provides a specific point of interest for researchers tracking the decline of early mining outposts and remote coastal settlements.
