1949 Map of Craig C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The industrial and maritime landscape of Prince of Wales Island is deeply etched into this mid-century survey, revealing a territory defined by remote extraction and coastal dependence. The Kasaan Peninsula and the shores of Kasaan Bay are dotted with numerous workings, including the Salt Chuck Mine, Haida Mine, and Rush and Brown Mine. These mining operations, some connected by an Aerial Tramway near the Flagstaff Mine, illustrate the era's reliance on mineral wealth and complex logistics in the Alaskan wilderness.
