1948 Map of Port Alexander D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Kuiu Island dominates this 1948 survey, revealing the intricate coastline and maritime infrastructure of Southeast Alaska before mid-century modernizations. The northern coast of the island is deeply indented by Saginaw Bay and Security Bay, where topographic contours rise sharply from the shoreline. Traces of human activity are concentrated near the water, evidenced by a Cannery and a cluster of Cabins along the shoreline, alongside geographic markers like Sachem. The map illuminates a landscape defined by its relation to the sea, where Halleck Harbor and Keku Islets provide sheltered passages within Keku Strait. Geologic features like Fossil Bluffs and navigational aids such as the Light at Cornwallis Pt indicate the dual importance of scientific study and maritime safety in the Tongass National Forest.
