1951 Map of Juneau A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Chichagof Island is documented here during the early 1950s, showing a landscape defined by deep fjords and dense coastal forests within the Tongass National Forest. The topography is shaped by the Mud Bay River and Neka River, which drain into the saltwater of Icy Strait and Neka Bay. While the area is largely uninhabited, the presence of a single Cabin at the head of the bay suggests the seasonal activities of trappers or fishers common in the Alaskan Panhandle at this time. The interior remains dominated by glacial lakes like Otter Lake and the branching waters of the North Bight and South Bight. The map serves as a record of these unsurveyed lands before significant modern development, focusing on the natural water systems such as Chicken Creek and Gallagher Creek that dictate the island's geography.
