1947 Map of Juneau B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Shelter Island and the intricate coastal waters of the Alexander Archipelago dominate this 1947 survey, where maritime navigation is paramount. The presence of a lighthouse at Point Retreat and numerous lights and reefs across Saginaw Channel and Favorite Channel highlight the region's reliance on sea travel before the extensive development of the inland interior. Along the mainland, the Glacier Highway skirts the coast, connecting small outposts like Dotsons Landing and the mission at St Terese. Inland, the landscape is defined by the steep rises of Auke Mtn and the drainage of Peterson Creek, with the Bear Creek Trail and Spaulding Trail providing access into the dense Tongass National Forest. These trails and small industrial markers like a quarry near Pearl Harbor suggest a mid-century economy built on local extraction and wilderness access.
