About this map

Sumner Strait dominates this mid-century maritime chart, separating the shorelines of Kuiu Island to the west and Kosciusko Island to the southeast. The survey area, situated within the Tongass National Forest, captures the intricate coastline of the Alexander Archipelago before modern development. Notable coastal landmarks include the sharp profile of Pt Amelius and the sheltered waters of Louise Cove. To the south, Pt St Albans anchors a rugged peninsula, while the eastern side of the strait is dotted with features like Ruins Pt and Finger Is. The map provides a detailed view of the natural topography of this timber-rich region, documenting the positions of small islands like Amelius I and Bluff I alongside drainage systems such as Trout Creek and Charles Creek.
