1951 Map of Dixon Entrance D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Klinkwan sits along the shoreline of Prince of Wales Island, serving as a central point of settlement in this 1951 survey of Southeast Alaska's maritime landscape. This region, entirely within the Tongass National Forest, is defined by a dense network of waterways and islands including Long Island and the scattered Barrier Islands. The mapping reflects a period when marine navigation and coastal resources dictated the footprint of human activity, with numerous named points and coves like Klinkwan Cove and Tah Bay indicating localized maritime knowledge. The intricate geometry of Ship Island Passage and Eureka Channel underscores the complexity of the coastal environment during the mid-twentieth century, prior to more modern development. Researchers can trace the exact topography of the shoreline from Kassa Island to the mouth of Klakas Inlet as it was recorded shortly after the war.
