1948 Map of Dixon Entrance D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Prince of Wales Island presents a rugged and complex shoreline along the southern reaches of the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the deep inlets of Moira Sound, including the West Arm and South Arm, which carve into the timbered interior. Evidence of early 20th-century coastal industry is visible at the Cannery (Aband) near Hunter Bay, a remnant of the region's salmon-packing history. To the east, Bokan Mountain rises as a prominent landmark above Perkins Creek. The intricate network of waterways like Hessa Narrows, McLean Arm, and Kendrick Bay reflects a maritime economy where travel and trade were entirely dependent on the tides and sheltered harbors of the Alexander Archipelago.
