About this map

Prince of Wales Island and Kosciusko Island define this coastal landscape, where narrow waterways like Shakan Strait and El Capitan Passage carve through the dense archipelago. The map reveals the shifting nature of coastal settlements at mid-century, identifying several sites as no longer active. Settlements such as Calder (Aband), Shakan (Aband), and Holbrook (Aband) appear alongside their successor locations, marking the transition from early maritime outposts to the contemporary landscape.
