About this map

Cleveland Peninsula and the western shores of Revillagigedo Island define this coastal landscape as it was documented in the mid-20th century. The waterway of the Behm Canal separates these landmasses, serving as a primary corridor for the region's maritime activity. On the peninsula side, industrial history is evident through the presence of the Gold Standard Mine, Steers Mine, and the Alaska Gold Mtn Mines located near Falls Creek and Smugglers Lake. These sites indicate a period of active resource extraction tucked into the steep coastal terrain.
