1952 Map of Port Alexander

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The southern tip of Baranof Island and the rugged shoreline of Kuiu Island define this coastal survey, where the maritime economy of mid-century Alaska is visible through isolated outposts and industrial sites. The settlement of Port Alexander sits near the entrance to Chatham Strait, serving as a focal point for the region's fishing and maritime activities alongside features like a Cannery and Mines found further north. This landscape is a complex network of deep fjords and interior lakes, including the expansive Plotnikof Lake and Redoubt Lake, which drain through the steep terrain into the Pacific Ocean.
