1951 Map of Petersburg B-3

About this map

Zarembo Island dominates this mid-century maritime study of the Alexander Archipelago, where the interior elevations rise to several prominent peaks. The entire landmass is contained within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating a landscape defined by its heavy timber and complex shoreline of bights and harbors. To the north, across the deep waters of Sumner Strait, lies the southern tip of Mitkof I at Pt Howe. The map details the intricate navigation channels of the era, including Snow Passage and the convergence of Clarence Strait and Stikine Strait. Marine features such as St John Harbor and Baht Harbor are meticulously charted alongside coastal landmarks like Craig Point and Boulder Point, providing a primary source for the coastal geography of Southeast Alaska before significant modern development.
