1950 Map of Craig C-1

About this map

Cleveland Peninsula and Prince of Wales Island dominate this 1950 coastal survey, separated by the wide waters of Clarence Strait. The industrial history of the region is evident in the cluster of extractive sites near the southern shore, including the Mamie Mine, Stevenstown Mine, and Mt Andrew. Further north on the peninsula, the Sleeping Beauty Mine and Bert Lide Mine sit tucked between the peaks and Helm Bay. Settlement patterns are sparse, defined by the fishing community at Meyers Chuck and the site of Hadley, which is marked as abandoned by this era. The topography is defined by significant landmarks like South Mtn and the unique drainage of Black Bear Creek, while the shoreline is dotted with maritime points of interest such as Niblack Pt and the sheltered Lyman Anchorage.
