1953 Map of Petersburg B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Prince of Wales Island and Kupreanof Island face one another across the deep, navigable waters of Sumner Strait in this early 1950s survey of the Alexander Archipelago. The settlement of Point Baker serves as a primary coastal anchor, while the nearby Trading Post at Wooden Wheel Cove points to the maritime commerce and fishing economy essential to this part of the Tongass National Forest. The intricate coastline is defined by protected inlets like Port Protection and the curiously named Hole-in-the-Wall. On the northern shore of Prince of Wales Island, a series of drainages including Flicker Creek, Alder Creek, and Red Bay illustrate the steep topographic rise from the water's edge to the interior peaks. Further north, Totem Bay and Little Totem Bay carve into the southern edge of Kupreanof Island, overseen by the landmark at Pt. Barrie.
