1959 Map of Dixon Entrance

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Howkan, Koianglas, and Kaigani appear as historical sites along the southern fringes of Prince of Wales Island, illustrating the traditional Haida settlement patterns before major relocations. This maritime survey documents the complex international boundary at Dixon Entrance, where the waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the Queen Charlotte Islands of British Columbia. The map records a Military Camp on Forrester Island, a remote outpost within the Forrester Island Wilderness. On Graham Island to the south, the transition from Old Masset to the newer settlement of Masset is visible along the shores of Masset Harbour. The inland terrain is marked by significant elevations like Bokan Mountain and Pivot Mt, while the seafloor is defined by the submerged Learmonth Bank.
