1948 Map of Dixon Entrance D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Waterfall Bay and Gold Harbor define the deeply indented shoreline of this coastal stretch within the Tongass National Forest. Surveyed shortly after the war, the map reveals a wilderness landscape where the coastal fringe of the Pacific Ocean meets steep terrain marked by Twin Peaks and numerous freshwater bodies like Lake Welcome and Waterfall Lake. The complex maritime geography is characterized by numerous navigation points and sheltered waters, including Augustine Bay, Gooseneck Harbor, and the small Camp Cove. While no roads or trails are recorded, the naming of features such as Welcome Pt and Cape Magdalena suggests the importance of this coastline for maritime passage and seasonal anchorage. Interior drainage is captured through a network of small lakes, notably Devil Lake and Little Devil Lake, which sit perched above the saltwater inlets.
