1951 Map of Craig B-3

About this map

Prince of Wales Island is documented here during a period of mid-century industrial and administrative transition. The map highlights the extractive history of the region, featuring the Dawson Mine and the Puyallup Mine (Aban'd), the latter connected to the coast via an Aerial Tramway and a Gaging Station near Hollis. This era of development is juxtaposed with significant jurisdictional boundaries, including the Hydaburg Indian Reservation and a sprawling Cable Protection Area that spans the central terrain between Trocadero Bay and Twelvemile Arm. The presence of a Cable House at the shoreline suggests the importance of maritime communication infrastructure at the time. Glacial geography dominates the landscape, defined by Klawak Lake, the Harris River drainage, and the southern reach toward Soda Bay.
