1951 Map of Sitka C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Chatham Strait serves as the dominant marine corridor of this maritime survey, separating the eastern shores of Chichagof Island from the western coastline of Admiralty Island. This stretch of the Alexander Archipelago is entirely contained within the Tongass National Forest, showing a landscape defined by deep inlets and freshwater systems. Notable hydrology includes Kook Lake and Basket Lake, which drain through the rugged interior toward the saltwater of Basket Bay. Further south, the map details the protected waters of Sitkoh Bay and Florence Bay. Coastal navigation features such as White Rock, Marble Bluffs, and Parker Pt provide essential landmarks for the City and Borough of Sitka, illustrating the intricate shoreline and tidal flats of the 1950s Tongass wilderness.
