1997 Map of Port Alexander D-1

About this map

Saginaw Bay and the northern reaches of Kuiu Island dominate this coastal survey, where the rugged topography of the Tongass National Forest meets the waters of Frederick Sound. This revision, updated in the late 1990s, captures a landscape defined by its marine resources and wilderness character. The presence of the Pipeline Cannery (Aband) on the northern shore of the bay points to the region's commercial fishing history, while the Fishpass (FS) reflects modern conservation efforts within the forest. Geologic and maritime history are etched into the coastline at Fossil Bluffs and Cornwallis Point, while the protected waters of Security Bay State Marine Park offer a glimpse into the preserved maritime environment. The intricate archipelago of the Keku Islands and the tidal reaches of Kadake Creek further illustrate the complex interaction between the Alexander Archipelago's high-relief interior and the Keku Strait.
