1951 Map of Sitka C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Hasselborg Lake and the interior waterways of Admiralty Island dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its interconnected lakes and coastal inlets. The map documents sparse human footprints in the Tongass National Forest, most notably the Hasselborg Homestead and Camp Shaheen, providing a rare record of early inland habitation. The terrain is structured by high peaks like Botany Peak and the Yellow Bear Mountains, with the extensive drainages of Hasselborg Creek and Jims Creek carving paths through the dense forest. Along the eastern shoreline, Mole Harbor and Seymour Canal appear as they did before modern maritime shifts, featuring landmarks like Rasp Ledge and Beacon Rk that served as vital navigational points for those traversing the Alaskan panhandle by water.
