1951 Map of Craig C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Noyes Island and the intricate archipelagos of the Tongass National Forest dominate this maritime survey of the Alexander Archipelago. Photogrammetric methods from 1948 capture the complex shoreline where Iphigenia Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. The map documents a rugged coastal landscape defined by navigational hazards and remote island groups, including the scattered Maurelle Islands and the more substantial St Joseph Island. On the northwestern shore of Noyes Island, prominent landmarks like Cape Ulitka protect the waters of Ulitka Bay, while further south the coast opens into the wide reach of Roller Bay. This mapping provides a snapshot of the Alaskan coastline before modern development, focusing on the essential topography of landmasses like Wood Islands and isolated features such as Timbered Island and Emerald Island.
