1951 Map of Juneau A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Chichagof Island dominates this 1951 topographic study, depicting a densely forested and mountainous landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The map captures the complex shoreline of Southeast Alaska, where the waters of Icy Strait meet protected inlets and bays. Small human imprints are noted only by generic markers such as Camp on the northern coast and a pair of Cabins near the head of Neka Bay. These labels suggest a seasonal or transient presence, likely tied to fishing or trapping, rather than permanent town sites. Deep tidal indentations like North Bight, South Bight, and the northern reaches of Tenakee Inlet define the interior accessibility of the island. The drainage of Humpback Creek and the tidal flats of Mud Bay illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Alexander Archipelago before modern development.
