1949 Map of Craig D-1

About this map

Cleveland Peninsula and the surrounding islands define this mid-century view of Southeast Alaska's maritime landscape. The map centers on the expanse of Ernest Sound, a critical waterway connecting Clarence Strait to the interior passages. Economic activity is anchored at the Cannery located along the southern shore near Union Pt, where Cannery Creek meets the tidal waters. This industrial footprint, while small, represents the vital salmon fishing and processing heritage of the region during this era.
