About this map

The settlement of Hoonah serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated along the northeastern shores of Chichagof Island. This Tlingit community is shown with its local infrastructure including a Cannery at Hoonah Point and a Cem nearby, reflecting the industrial and social life of the era. The mapping details the maritime dependencies of the region, from the sheltered Hoonah Harbor to the navigational challenges of Icy Strait and Gedney Channel.

Beyond the primary village, the landscape is defined by its coastal geography and early transportation routes like the Spasski Trail. Landforms such as Neka Mountain and Pt Sophia frame the intricate waterways of Port Frederick and Spasski Bay. The presence of Cabins at Game Pt and various family or locally named features like Burger Point and Gallagher Creek offer specific touchpoints for researchers tracing the early 1950s footprint of the Hoonah-Angoon area.
