1951 Map of Sitka B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Peril Strait separates the northern reaches of Baranof Island from Chichagof Island, a region defined by maritime navigation and steep topography in the mid-1950s. The coastline is punctuated by several significant inlets including Rodman Bay, Appleton Cove, and Saook Bay, which provided sheltered waters for early transit and industry. A small collection of cabins and a shelter cabin near Lake Eva indicate the sparse human footprint in this wilderness area, while the McClellan Rk Light and Lindenberg Harbor mark critical points for vessels maneuvering through the strait. Further inland, the map captures the high-elevation relief of the Moore Mountains and prominent peaks like Annahootz Mountain and Mt Rosenberg. The drainage patterns are clearly visible, with the Clear River and Rodman Creek feeding into the intricate system of arms and flats that characterize the Alaskan panhandle.
