1959 Map of Prince Rupert

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Dixon Entrance and the Hecate Strait dominate this mid-century maritime study of the international boundary waters between Alaska and British Columbia. The maritime economy of the late 1950s is evident in the network of coastal settlements like Prince Rupert and Port Edward, which are connected by the Canadian National Railways and a designated Ferry route. Along the Tsimpsean Peninsula, smaller outposts such as Port Simpson and Georgetown Mills sit opposite the Tongass National Forest and the Annette Island Indian Reservation. The map captures a complex shoreline of inlets and passages, including the Portland Canal and Revillagigedo Channel, where logging cabins and isolated canneries like Claxton and Arrandale once served as vital hubs for the region's salmon and timber industries.
