1950 Map of Craig C-1

About this map

Clarence Strait separates the rugged shoreline of the Cleveland Peninsula from Prince Of Wales Island in this 1950 coastal survey. The map reveals the intricate maritime and mining economy of mid-century Southeast Alaska, centered around the settlement at Meyers Chuck and the industrial activity near Hadley and Boggs Landing. On the Cleveland Peninsula, the interior is dotted with remote alpine waters like Rainbow Lake and Smugglers Lake, while the eastern flank near Helm Bay shows signs of mineral exploration at the Sleeping Beauty Mine and Bert Lide Mine. Further south, the Kaasan Peninsula is marked by the Mamie Mine and the peak of Mt Andrew, highlighting the era's focus on the region's copper and gold potential. This survey captures a moment when coastal settlements were essential hubs for the surrounding wilderness and maritime trades.
