1951 Map of Craig B-3

About this map

Prince of Wales Island is documented here during the early 1950s, revealing an industrial landscape defined by mining activity and maritime infrastructure. The settlement of Hollis serves as a focal point near Hollis Anchorage, while further inland, the Dawson Mine and the Puyallup Mine (Aband) illustrate the shifting fortunes of mineral extraction. An Aerial Tramway and a Gaging Station near the Harris River show the mechanical systems used to navigate and monitor this coastal environment. Extensive boundaries for the Hydaburg Indian Reservation and a Military Reservation Boundary overlay the terrain, intersecting at a central Cable House near Twelvemile Arm. This survey reflects a post-war era of federal administration and resource management within the Tongass National Forest, where coastal inlets like Soda Bay and Trocadero Bay provided critical access to the interior.
