1961 Map of Petersburg D-3

About this map

Petersburg and its smaller counterpart West Petersburg anchor this coastal survey, where the maritime and industrial character of Southeast Alaska is clearly defined. Along the Wrangell Narrows, critical transportation infrastructure is mapped, including a Ferry Terminal and Seaplane Anchorage, alongside local landmarks like a Ski Lift and an Aqueduct on Mitkof Island. The map records the early footprint of the Mitkof Highway leading south past Doyhof and Scow Bay. To the north, the massive ice flow of Patterson Glacier feeds the Patterson River and Muddy River, illustrating the direct connection between the glacial interior and the coastal inlets of Frederick Sound. This 1961 field-annotated record provides a detailed view of the region's development before the expansion of modern infrastructure, noting a small Cem and a Quarry near the primary settlement.
