1951 Map of Craig D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Prince of Wales Island and Etolin Island dominate this coastal survey, separated by the deep waters of the Clarence Strait. Compiled from aerial photographs and hydrographic charts in the early 1950s, the map illustrates a maritime landscape where safe harbors were critical for navigation and industry within the Tongass National Forest. Key maritime havens such as McHenry Anchorage and Dewey Anchorage are documented alongside smaller inlets like Ratz Harbor. The terrain is characterized by steep contours rising from the shoreline, punctuated by landmarks such as Narrow Pt and Krogh Lake. The intricate network of smaller landmasses, including Onslow Island, Carlton Island, and Mabel I, highlights the complex geography of the Alexander Archipelago before modern infrastructure altered the regional logistics.
