1948 Map of Petersburg B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Zarembo Island occupies the center of this 1948 survey, showing a landscape defined by its deep coastal indentations and the surrounding waters of the Alexander Archipelago. Almost the entire landmass is contained within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the protected timberlands of Southeast Alaska during the mid-twentieth century. Coastal landmarks like Pt Howe and Low Pt define the jagged perimeter, while the interior is marked by a network of drainage patterns and topographical relief reaching toward the center of the island. Significant maritime passages converge here, including Sumner Strait to the north and Clarence Strait to the south. Geodetic points such as Zarembo I North Base provide specific survey locations used to map this complex shoreline, while isolated features like Zarembo Spring hint at the island's natural water sources away from the saltwater harbors.
