About this map

The coastal village of Kake serves as a primary focal point for this mid-century maritime landscape, situated at the mouth of Gunnuk Creek on Kupreanof Island. The area's reliance on marine resources is clearly indicated by the waterfront Cannery and the intricate network of nearby waterways, including the broad Keku Strait and the sheltered Hamilton Bay. Navigation through these tidal reaches was once facilitated by localized landmarks like the Mosquito Islands and Cucumber Reef, while the interior terrain is marked by the presence of the Goldstein Trail and a Camp trail winding through the hills.
