1951 Map of Prince Rupert

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Deep-water fjords and uninhabited islands characterize this coastal wilderness within the Tongass National Forest during the mid-century. Centered on the rugged Duke Island, the landscape is defined by the high point of Mt Lazaro and numerous sheltered anchorages such as Beef Harbor and Morse Cove. The map illustrates the complex maritime geography of the Revillagigedo Channel and Clarence Strait, where the international boundary with British Columbia cuts through the Pearse Canal. Isolated human activity is evidenced only by a remote Cannery and scattered Cabins along the shoreline, highlighting the area's reliance on the sea. Navigational landmarks like Bee Rocks and the Percy Islands serve as critical guides through the treacherous Dixon Entrance, reflecting the region's importance for commercial fishing and maritime passage between Alaska and Canada.
