1948 Map of Port Alexander A-1

About this map

Kuiu Island dominates this mid-century survey of the Alexander Archipelago, showing a landscape defined by deep fjords and maritime navigation. The southern tip of the island is anchored by Cape Decision, where a prominent Lighthouse and Heliport serve as critical markers for vessels transitioning from the open waters of the Chatham Strait into the protected reaches of the Affleck Canal. The interior remains largely undeveloped within the Tongass National Forest, characterized by significant peaks like Mount McArthur and Mount Howard. The coastline is heavily indented with numerous inlets including Kell Bay, Table Bay, and the sheltered waters of Port McArthur, offering insight into the natural harbors that have historically supported the region's fishing and maritime activities.
