1948 Map of Dixon Entrance D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Forrester Island and its surrounding archipelago dominate this maritime survey, illustrating a remote outpost within the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a specific moment in the mid-20th century where the land was dual-designated as the Forrester Island National Wildlife Refuge. A notable human element is the Military Camp (Inactive) located near Eagle Harbor, signaling the area's strategic significance during earlier years. Further south, a solitary Cabin is marked on the eastern shore of the main island, suggesting a footprint of seasonal habitation or resource management. The coastline is defined by hazardous maritime features like Sea Lion Rock, Cape Horn Rocks, and North Rocks, while smaller landmasses such as Lowrie Island and Petrel Island extend the refuge's reach into the Pacific Ocean.
