1951 Map of Juneau A-5

About this map

Hoonah sits at the maritime crossroads of Icy Strait and Port Frederick, serving as a vital hub for the fishing industry on the northeastern shore of Chichagof Island. The 1951 aerial photography and field annotations document a coastal community defined by its relationship with the water, anchored by a Cannery and a Seaplane Base at Hoonah Harbor. Inland from the settlement, the Spasski Trail and several small Cabins suggest a network of subsistence and transport routes leading toward Spasski Bay.
