1949 Map of Craig D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

El Capitan Passage and Tuxekan Passage dominate this coastal landscape of the Alexander Archipelago, where the complex waterways of Prince of Wales Island and Tuxekan Island meet. This mid-century survey documents a transitional era for local settlements, explicitly marking both Deweyville and Tuxekan as abandoned. The presence of a Seaplane Base at New Tokeen highlights the continued reliance on air and sea travel for connectivity in this roadless portion of the Tongass National Forest. Inland, the map reveals a network of salmon-bearing waters including Sarkar Lake, Sarkar Rapids, and Silver Salmon Falls on Staney Creek. From the heights of Twin Mtn to the tidal complexity of Skookumchuck, the map provides a precise record of the shoreline and maritime hazards like Hub Rk and Lte Peep Rk during the late 1940s.
