1951 Map of Port Alexander D-3

About this map

Baranof Island is documented here during the mid-20th century, revealing a landscape defined by deeply recessed glacial fjords and high alpine peaks within the Tongass National Forest. The map provides a critical look at the coastal economy of the Alaska Panhandle, centered on the Cannery at the mouth of Red Bluff Bay. This industrial outpost served as a focal point for maritime activity along Chatham Strait, drawing from the surrounding network of freshwater bodies such as Deep Lake and Long Lake.
