1964 Map of Port Alexander

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Goddard (Hot Springs PO) stands as a vital outpost on this 1964 edition of the Baranof Island coastline, where the rugged maritime economy of Southeast Alaska is on full display. The settlement patterns follow the deep inlets and protected harbors, from the southern tip at Port Alexander up to the industrial presence of the Pillar Bay Cannery. This map, updated from earlier 1950s surveys, illustrates the heavy reliance on marine transport and coastal resources before modern development. Notable landmarks include the St Lazaria National Wildlife Refuge and the strategically placed Lighthouse at Cape Decision. The interior is defined by steep peaks like Mt Elizabeth and Mt Radamaker, with numerous Mines and Lucky Chance Creek suggesting the region's mineral history. The intricate shoreline of Sitka Sound and Chatham Strait reveals a landscape where the sea and land are inextricably linked.
