1948 Map of Sitka B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Angoon sits at the northern edge of this coastal survey, which documents the rugged western shoreline of Admiralty Island during the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by deep inlets and narrow passages, including the complex waters of Kootznahoo Roads and the expansive Hood Bay, which splits into a North Arm and South Arm. This era of the territory's history is captured through small coastal settlements and remote outposts like Killisnoo and Neltushkin. Early industrial activity is evidenced by a Coal Mine and Coal Claim located near the northern shore of Kanalku Bay, while the high peaks of Kanalku Mountain and various VABM survey stations tower over the tidal flats. The importance of maritime navigation is clear, with dozens of named points, reefs, and islands such as Killisnoo Island and Russian Reef marking the treacherous approaches from Chatham Strait.
