About this map

Kuiu Island dominates this 1948 topographic survey, revealing the intricate coastline of Southeast Alaska within the Tongass National Forest. The map detail focuses on the southern tip of the island, where the landmark Lighthouse at Cape Decision stands as a vital navigational sentinel overlooking the confluence of Chatham Strait and the Pacific. The interior is defined by significant elevations such as Mount McArthur and Mount Howard, while the coastline is deeply incised by protected waters including Port McArthur, Kell Bay, and Table Bay.
