1948 Map of Juneau A-3

About this map

Mansfield Peninsula and the northern reaches of Admiralty Island are depicted here during the post-war expansion of Alaska's maritime and industrial infrastructure. The landscape is defined by its deep coastal indentations, where the Hawk Inlet and Funter Bay serve as critical hubs for regional activity. Industrial footprints are visible at the Hawk Inlet Cannery, supported by Oil and Gasoline Tanks and an Aqueduct, illustrating the logistical complexity of sustaining isolated coastal operations. Along the western slopes of Mt Robert Barron, a Tramway serves the Admiralty Mine, while clusters of Cabins near the water's edge reflect the seasonal and resource-based settlement patterns of the late 1940s. The map also captures the intricate hydrography of the Lynn Canal and Chatham Strait, essential waterways for the territorial economy.
