1948 Map of Sitka A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Admiralty Island dominates this southern coastal perspective, where the high elevations of Mt Saffran and Table Mountain overlook a shoreline defined by deep inlets and hazardous rocky points. Compiled from 1948 aerial photography, the map highlights the maritime-dependent settlement of Tyee at the head of Murder Cove, a location historically significant for its cannery operations. Other human activity is sparse, marked only by isolated Cabin locations near Surprise Harbor.
