About this map

Admiralty Island dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape of interconnected waterways and isolated outposts within the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a sparsely settled interior where life centered around the massive Hasselborg Lake and the coastal waters of the Seymour Canal. Notable human imprints include the Hasselborg Homestead near Mole Harbor and Camp Shaheen to the north, reflecting an era of early homesteading and wilderness recreation.
