1960 Map of Petersburg

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Petersburg and Wrangell anchor this coastal survey of Southeast Alaska, revealing the intricate geography of the Alexander Archipelago. The map tracks the complex waterways of the Tongass National Forest, from the broad Sumner Strait to the narrow, tidal Rocky Pass. Settlements like Kake on Kupreanof Island and the cannery site at Hamilton are connected by a network of sounds and canals rather than roads. The interior is defined by steep peaks such as Kupreanof Mountain and Garnet Mtn, while the eastern edge marks the international boundary between the United States and Canada along the Stikine River corridor. This compilation provides a look at the region’s maritime-dependent economy and settlement patterns before modern infrastructure reached these isolated islands.
