1951 Map of Craig C-4

About this map

Prince of Wales Island is defined by a labyrinth of fjords and intricate coastal topography in this early 1950s study. The settlement of Klawak, located along Klawak Inlet, serves as the primary focal point of human activity, featuring a Cem and Cemetery Pt at its periphery. The landscape transitions from the protected waters of San Alberto Bay to the high elevations of Kogish Mtn and Staney Cone further inland. A notable Pipe Line runs eastward toward Klawak Lake, indicating early industrial or utility infrastructure for the community. The presence of numerous islands, such as Wadleigh Island and Peratovitch Island, highlights the complex maritime navigation required to reach the interior waters of Big Salt Lake through the North Entrance and South Entrance.
