About this map

Etolin Island dominates this mid-1990s landscape, where the Tongass National Forest meets the intricate waterways of Southeast Alaska. The map illustrates a resource-driven economy, featuring a Logging Camp and Log Transfer Facility situated on Anita Bay, alongside private aquaculture ventures like the Oyster Farm near Mosman Island. The southern reaches are defined by the South Etolin Wilderness, a protected expanse that includes peaks such as Navy Peak and the remote Jadski Cove.

Marine activity is central to life here, with the Alaska Marine Highway traversing the Clarence Strait along the western edge. Notable landmarks of human habitation and industry appear at Cannery Point and a Fish Hatchery on Burnett Inlet, connected by a short Pipeline to Burnett 212 Lake. This survey provides researchers with a view of the forest before subsequent decades of growth and administrative changes in the wilderness areas.
