1949 Map of Craig C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Prince of Wales Island is documented here as it appeared in the late 1940s, shortly before mid-century revisions updated the hydrographic and forest data. The landscape is dominated by the Tongass National Forest, where a network of steep peaks and deep drainages defines the topography. Economic interest in the region is anchored by the Lucky Nell Mine (Gold) located near the Harris River. The map reveals a land defined by its water bodies, from the tidal influence at Big Salt Lake to the interior basins of Klawock Lake and Salmon Lake. Subtle human footprints are recorded at Klawock West Base and a Campground, while the upper reaches of the Thorne River and Maybeso Creek remain largely primitive. Geologists and local historians can use this survey to trace the early industrial accessibility and natural drainage patterns of this remote coastal region.
