1948 Map of Port Alexander A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Port Alexander occupies the thin coastal fringe of southern Baranof Island, marking a rare point of settlement at the confluence of Chatham Strait and the open Pacific Ocean. This 1948 aerial-based study captures the community just before the turn of the decade, showing the concentrated hub of buildings near the protected harbor entrance and the local Cem. The landscape is dominated by the wild coastline of the Tongass National Forest, which covers nearly the entire land area shown except for the designated town exclusion area.
