1948 Map of Petersburg C-6

About this map

Keku Straits serves as the central artery of this coastal landscape, threading between the massive landmasses of Kuiu Island and Kupreanof Island. This 1948 survey, published with 1963 revisions, documents a complex maritime environment within the Tongass National Forest. The map detail follows the winding passage of the straits, highlighting navigational landmarks such as the Devils Elbow and the narrow channel at The Summit. Sheltered waters like Seclusion Harbor and Salt Lagoon indent the shoreline of Kuiu Island, while Port Camden dominates the northwestern reaches. The interior terrain is defined by drainages like Mud Creek and Crane Creek, providing a look at the intricate coastline before modern development, where islands such as Monte Carlo Island and Summit Island pepper the waterways.
