1951 Map of Sitka A-2

About this map

Admiralty Island National Monument dominates this coastal landscape, which was field-annotated in the early 1950s. The shoreline is defined by deep inlets such as Whitewater Bay to the north and the complex waters of Surprise Harbor and Murder Cove to the south. Small settlements and industrial markers like Tyee and a Pumphouse located near the southern coast suggest a history of localized maritime activity or resource processing. High relief is evident at Table Mountain and Mt Safftan, while smaller points like Walker Pt and Bartlett Pt provide navigational landmarks along the transition from Chatham Strait to Frederick Sound. This survey captures the region's character just as minor revisions were later applied, preserving a record of remote cabins and isolated points before more modern development.
