1951 Map of Craig C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Noyes Island and its jagged northwestern coastline dominate the southeastern corner of this maritime chart, where the land meets the open waters of the Pacific Ocean. This coastal landscape, surveyed using aerial photography from 1948 and field checked in 1951, reveals an intricate network of waterways including Sonora Passage and Arriaga Passage. The archipelago character of the region is evident through the scattered Maurelle Islands and Wood Islands, which provide a complex navigational environment for the era's fishing and maritime activities. Notable shoreline features such as Cape Ulitka and the sheltered waters of Ulitka Bay and Lagoma Bay suggest the natural harbors used by mariners before modern navigational aids were standard. The entire land portion shown lies within the Tongass National Forest, emphasizing the coastal wilderness of the Prince of Wales archipelago during the mid-20th century.
