1951 Map of Petersburg D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Lindenberg Peninsula on Kupreanof Island is defined by its deep saltwater inlets and high coastal peaks as they were recorded in the early 1950s. The Petersburg Trail cuts through the interior, following Petersburg Creek from the eastern shore toward the heart of the island near Petersburg Lake. This area of the Tongass National Forest is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes, rising from the tidal flats of Portage Bay and Duncan Canal to the heights of the Missionary Range and Portage Mountains. The map reveals a landscape of isolated outposts, marked simply by several cabins near Salt Chuck and Fivemile Creek, reflecting a time when the wilderness was navigated primarily by water and forest trail. These topographical details illustrate the maritime and terrestrial connections essential for early regional travel and natural resource management.
