1951 Map of Sitka B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The maritime wilderness of the Tongass National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, centered on the complex waterways where the Pacific Ocean meets the Alexander Archipelago. The landscape is defined by the massive landmasses of Chichagof Island and Kruzof Island, separated by the broad expanse of Salisbury Sound. This mapping captures the intricate coastline of the Khaz Peninsula and the sheltered waters of Slocum Arm, providing an essential view of the region before modern development. Notable landmarks such as Cape Georgiana and Mt Georgiana serve as vital navigational markers for the seafaring routes between Neva Strait and Sukoi Inlet. Sparse human presence is indicated only by a few Cabins and a lone Cabin near Lake Suloia, emphasizing the isolation of these coastal reaches during the early 1950s.
