About this map

Latouche Island serves as the industrial and maritime anchor of this 1950s coastal survey, depicting a period of transition in the Prince of Wales Passage. The settlement of Latouche is established on the island's western shore, positioned near a cluster of resource-extraction sites including the Beatson Mine (Aband) and Blackbird Mine (Aband). These locations, along with the nearby Girdwood (Aband), reflect the boom-and-bust cycle of early twentieth-century mining in the region. Across the water on Evans Island, the San Juan Cannery and Port Ashton highlight the importance of the commercial fishing industry during this era.
