1948 Map of Petersburg C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Dry Island and Farm Island sit at the confluence of the Stikine River and the braided channels of the Inside Passage in this late 1940s topography. The landscape is a complex network of glacial outwash and tidal zones, defined by the expansive Koknuk Flats and Mud Flats that shift between the rugged elevations of Mitkof Island and the mainland. Settlement is sparse, represented by scattered Cabins and navigational markers like Dry Strait East Base, reflecting a period of seasonal activity and remote homesteading within the Tongass National Forest. Inland, the Wilkes Range rises sharply to heights like Wilkes Peak, while coastal features such as Garnet Ledge and Ideal Cove suggest the area's geological and maritime importance. This survey documents the raw coastal interface before modern development, capturing the intricate waterways of Dry Strait and Ring Slough.
