1951 Map of Craig D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Cape Pole stands as the primary point of settlement on the western edge of Kosciusko Island, overlooking the waters of Sumner Strait. This 1951 survey, with revisions through the early 1990s, documents a maritime landscape defined by isolated navigation aids and protected wilderness. To the west, across Warren Channel, the entirety of Warren Island is designated as the Warren Island Wilderness, rising to prominence at Warren Peak and Bald Peak. The intricate coastline is marked by numerous natural harbors and narrow passages, such as Fishermans Harbor and Cosmos Pass, which provided essential shelter for vessels navigating the Alexander Archipelago. Mariners were guided by the Cape Pole Light and the Cape Lynch Light on the northern tip of Heceta Island, both of which are critical landmarks in this remote coastal environment.
