1950 Map of Craig D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Prince of Wales Island is documented here during the early 1950s, revealing a landscape defined by complex waterways and dense forest within the Tongass National Forest. The map details the intricate drainage systems and interior water bodies such as Sweetwater Lake and the Thorne River valley. Coastal features like Coffman Cove and the Gold and Galligan Lagoon are clearly delineated along the western shores, while the eastern edge is bounded by the Clarence Strait. Surveyed just before the expansion of industrial logging roads in the region, the terrain is characterized by prominent peaks like Baird Pk and Pk Lake Bay West. This cartography captures the island in its mid-century state, emphasizing natural navigation markers like Luck Pt and the secluded Luck Lake.
