1948 Map of Mount Fairweather A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chichagof Island and the complex waterways of Southeast Alaska define this topographic record, based on 1948 aerial photography. The map highlights the interplay between the sea and the Tongass National Forest, capturing the remnants of maritime industry at Port Althorp (Aband). Significant tidal features like the Tidal Flat near Gull Cove and the narrow passage of Idaho Inlet illustrate the navigation challenges of the Alexander Archipelago. Deep within the interior, peaks such as Pyramid Peak and Craig Mountain overlook draining systems like Trail River and Marble Creek. The small settlement of Village stands on the eastern shore of the inlet, providing a rare point of human habitation in a landscape otherwise dominated by landmarks like Basalt Knob and the Inian Islands.
