1948 Map of Petersburg C-6

About this map

Kuiu Island and Kupreanof Island dominate this coastal survey, separated by the intricate waterways of the Keeku Strait. This mid-century view within the Tongass National Forest illustrates a complex maritime landscape defined by tidal inlets and narrow channels rather than roads or settlements. The presence of Seclusion Harbor and Salt Lagoon suggests the quiet, protected nature of the western shoreline, while names like Devils Elbow indicate the navigational challenges inherent in the strait. Inland, the topography rises toward The Summit on Summit Island, surrounded by a scatter of smaller landforms including Monte Carlo Island and Eagle Island. This document captures the wilderness character of the Alexander Archipelago before modern development, focusing entirely on the natural hydrography and shoreline features like Three Mile Arm and No Name Bay.
