1953 Map of Petersburg A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Clarence Strait and Stikine Strait converge in this mid-century maritime study of the Alexander Archipelago. The landscape is defined by the complex waterways of the Kashevarof Islands and the Blashke Islands, providing a detailed look at the hazardous coastal navigation of the era. Evidence of the region's commercial fishing history is visible at Lake Bay, where a Cannery (Aband) sits near the Lake Bay Mag Sta. The map captures a transitional moment for the Tongass National Forest, detailing natural harbors like Steamer Bay and Kindergarten Bay on the western edge of Etolin Island. Significant landmarks for mariners, including Pt Nesbitt and Key Reef, anchor the nautical character of this rugged Southeast Alaska terrain.
