1951 Map of Prince Rupert D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The southeastern shoreline of Prince of Wales Island fronts the expansive Clarence Strait in this early 1950s survey. This remote maritime landscape within the Tongass National Forest is defined by a series of deep inlets and protected harbors, including Ingraham Bay, Kendrick Bay, and the long reach of Mc Lean Arm. Settlement here is minimal, indicated only by scattered cabins along the water’s edge, reflecting a period when seasonal fishing and coastal resource extraction were the primary drivers of activity. A single mine is noted near the head of McLean Arm, suggesting the localized mineral prospecting common in Southeast Alaska at mid-century. The intricate coastline is dotted with navigationally significant landmarks like Mc Lean Pt, Orca Island Pt, and the Kendrick Islands, providing a detailed view of this maritime wilderness before modern industrial changes.
