About this map

Dall Island dominates the southeastern maritime frontier of the Tongass National Forest in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by its deep coastal indentations, including Security Cove and the narrow waters of Liscome Bay. Settlement is sparse and focused on coastal points, with locations such as Security Pt, Liscome Pt, and Wolk Pt serving as landmarks for navigation along the jagged shoreline. On the southern tip of the island, the Kaigani (Site) indicates a historical point of occupation near Kaigani Strait. The interior is characterized by significant elevations like Stripe Mountain, while the surrounding waters of the Pacific Ocean and Mc Leod Bay highlight the region's total reliance on maritime access and seasonal coastal resources during this era.
