1951 Map of Petersburg A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Wrangell Island and Etolin Island dominate this coastal survey of the Tongass National Forest, separated by the deep waters of Zimovia Strait. The maritime character of the region is evident in the network of sheltered waterways, from the narrow Menefee Inlet to the sprawling Ernest Sound. Evidence of human activity is concentrated along the shorelines, marked by Village Islands and Village Islets, alongside scattered Cabins at Olive Cove. Significant peaks like Mt Etolin and Mt Shakes provide dramatic relief above the complex system of tidal flats and inlets. The map illustrates a wilderness landscape where transportation is dictated by the tides, particularly through passages like Canoe Passage and protected anchorages such as Whale-tail Cove.
