1951 Map of Petersburg D-6

About this map

Kake and the surrounding coastline of Kupreanof Island are depicted here during the mid-century, a period when the local economy was anchored by maritime industry and subsistence. The presence of a Cannery and Wharf at the northern edge of the map, near the mouth of Gunnuk Creek, underscores the historic importance of salmon and commercial fishing to this region. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, from the broad Keku Strait to the intricate passages of Rocky Pass and Hamilton Bay.
