1951 Map of Juneau A-2

About this map

Admiralty Island and Douglas Island dominate this coastal survey, separated by the wide waters of Stephens Passage. This mid-century view captures the wilderness of the Tongass National Forest before extensive modern development, focusing on the high peaks and drainage systems that define the Alexander Archipelago. Along the northern slopes of Douglas Island, the Treadwell Ditch remains a prominent feature, tracing the contours above Gastineau Channel—a relic of the massive water infrastructure required for early gold mining operations in the region.
