1953 Map of Petersburg A-5
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Prince of Wales Island and the northern reaches of Kosciusko Island are defined by a complex network of waterways and early coastal outposts in the mid-1950s. The landscape is marked by several significant deserted settlements, including Shakan (Aband) on Hamilton Island and Calder (Aband) near Calder Bay, indicating a shifting pattern of industry or residence along the Sumner Strait. These sites, along with Holbrook (Aband) on the shores of Davidson Inlet, reflect the transient nature of early twentieth-century maritime and resource-based economies in the Alexander Archipelago.
