1951 Map of Craig B-2

About this map

Prince of Wales Island is dominated by deep glacial fjords and high peaks in this mid-century topographic record of the Tongass National Forest. The intricate coastline is defined by Polk Inlet and the Twelvemile Arm, creating a complex maritime landscape where transportation relied heavily on water routes and overland portages. Evidence of early 20th-century resource extraction and Indigenous history is preserved through labels for the Khayyam Mine (Aban'd) and the Old Kasaan Nat Mon, reflecting the area's transition from active mining and traditional habitation to federal management.
