1948 Map of Dixon Entrance C-3

About this map

Dall Island dominates this 1948 survey, showcasing the southern reaches of the Alexander Archipelago at the international boundary between the United States and Canada. The landscape is defined by the high peak of Stripe Mountain and a shoreline deeply incised by protected waters such as Security Cove, Wolk Harbor, and Mc Leod Bay. Of particular interest to historical researchers is the Kaigani (Site) near Cape Muzon, marking a significant location along the Kaigani Strait. The map captures the maritime orientation of this remote area, from the Datzkoo Islands to the coastal light at the tip of the island. The topography reflects a time before extensive modern development, focusing on the natural harbors and named points like Pt Cornwallis and Aurora Pt that served as vital landmarks for Pacific coastal navigation.
