1951 Map of Port Alexander A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Baranof Island terminates at the southern extreme of the City and Borough of Sitka, where the land meets the Pacific Ocean at Cape Ommaney. This 1951 field-annotated survey reveals a coastline defined by deep inlets and dramatic elevations, such as Ommaney Peak rising above the surrounding waters. Historically significant maritime locations like Port Conclusion and Conclusion Creek suggest the late 18th-century explorations of Vancouver, while Puffin Bay and Larch Bay offer protected anchorages along this exposed coastline. The lack of roads or trails on the sheet emphasizes the maritime-dependent nature of travel and resource gathering in this part of the Alexander Archipelago during the mid-20th century.
