1948 Map of Dixon Entrance D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Prince of Wales Island and the expansive waters of Cordova Bay dominate this mid-century survey of the Alaska Panhandle. The landscape is defined by a complex network of glacial fjords and intricate waterways, including Klakas Inlet and Hassiah Inlet. This map highlights the region prior to modern development, capturing a wilderness where maritime navigation was the primary means of movement between isolated points like Klinkwan Cove and Tah Bay. A lone Cabin near the entrance to Hunter Bay suggests the sparse, seasonal human presence in the Tongass National Forest during this era. Numerous coastal features, from the Barrier Islands to Kassa Island, illustrate the treacherous marine geography of the Alexander Archipelago, where rocky hazards like Barbara Rk and Boat Rks sit within deep tidal channels.
