1951 Map of Sitka B-3

About this map

Catherine Island dominates this 1951 topographic study, situated at the complex intersection of several major Alaskan waterways. The map illustrates the convergence of Peril Strait and Chatham Strait, providing a detailed look at the maritime geography of the Alexander Archipelago. To the north, the coastline of Chichagof Island is defined by Sitkoh Bay and Florence Bay, while the southern reaches of the map show the northern tip of Baranof Island separated by the finger-like inlets of Middle Arm and South Arm.
