1951 Map of Port Alexander D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Biorka Island and the complex archipelago of the Taigud Islands anchor this mid-century survey of the southeastern approaches to Sitka Sound. The coastal landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure and small outposts, including the settlement of Goddard (Hot Springs PO) on the western shore of Baranof Island and the isolated Woodhouse on Biorka. These locations, along with several scattered cabins and a Lighthouse, reflect a period when remote coastal navigation and natural springs drew small populations to the Alexander Archipelago.
