1951 Map of Craig B-2

About this map

The intricate fjords and forested peaks of Prince of Wales Island dominate this coastal survey, where the deep waters of Twelvemile Arm and Kasaan Bay meet the high ridges of Beaver Mountain. This era of the Alaskan panhandle reveals a landscape where maritime access dictated human activity, notably at Old Kasaan Nat Mon on the northern shore of Skowl Arm. The map documents the shifting tides of the local economy, noting the Sulzer (Aban'd) settlement and the Khayam Mine (Inactive) near McKenzie Inlet, both remnants of earlier copper and gold prospecting cycles.
