About this map

Meyers Chuck sits along the northern edge of the Cleveland Peninsula in this 1951 topographic study, representing one of the few active coastal hubs in a landscape defined by maritime activity and resource extraction. The area's industrial history is starkly evident in the number of dormant operations recorded, including the Sleeping Beauty Mine and the Bert Lide Mine near Helm Bay.

Across the deep waters of Clarence Strait lies the northeastern tip of Prince of Wales Island, where the copper mining era is marked by the presence of Hadley, labeled here as abandoned. This settlement once served as a primary port for nearby operations like the Mamie Mine and Mt Andrews Mine. The map traces a rugged shoreline dotted with isolated cabins and provides a detailed view of the natural harbors at Lyman Anchorage and Union Bay within the Tongass National Forest.
