1948 Map of Petersburg C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Mitkof Island is defined by its maritime industry and experimental agriculture in this late-1940s landscape. Along the Wrangell Narrows, the map records the Tonka (Aband) site and its associated Dock, while the nearby Alaska Experimental Fur Farm and Gravel Pit indicate specialized land use within the Tonka Exclusion Area Boundary. The interior is characterized by the winding Blind Slough and the Mitkof Highway, which provide the primary terrestrial corridor through the Sumner Mountains toward Woodpecker Cove. Coastal navigation is meticulously documented through a series of named points such as Danger Pt and Vexation Pt, alongside specialized maritime features like the California Boulder Patch and Hoffman Anchorage. The relationship between the dense topographic relief and the intricate waterways, including Keene Channel and Beecher Pass, highlights the reliance on both protected narrows and open straits like Sumner Strait.
