1948 Map of Craig B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Noyes Island and Baker Island dominate this coastal survey of Southeast Alaska, capturing the maritime geography of the Alexander Archipelago shortly after World War II. The map highlights the significant protrusion of Cape Addington into the Pacific Ocean, a prominent landmark for navigation near the Tongass National Forest boundary. This 1948 topographic study reveals the isolation of the western shoreline, where features like Shaft Rk and Dizzy define the hazardous transition from open sea to rocky coast. The presence of a substantial Tidal Flat on the southern side of Noyes Island indicates the dynamic intertidal environment of the region's fjords and bays. This data, later revised in the 1970s and 80s, remains a primary record for those tracing the historical hydrography and shoreline character of Baker Island and the surrounding outer coast before modern development.
