1955 Map of Prince Rupert D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Duke Island and its surrounding archipelago dominate this mid-century maritime survey, situated at the southern entrance to the Alaskan Panhandle. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of water passages, including Clarence Strait and Felice Strait, which facilitated coastal travel between the complex island groups. On the southern portion of Duke Island, Mount Lazaro serves as a prominent navigational landmark overlooking Cape Northumberland. Settlement is sparse, with only isolated Cabins noted along the irregular shoreline. The map also captures a portion of the Annette Island Indian Res to the northwest, highlighting the importance of indigenous land boundaries in this maritime region. Smaller island clusters like the Percy Islands and Hotspur Island are documented with hydrographic detail, including hazards such as Sealing Reef and Hassler Reef.
