1951 Map of Sitka C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Chichagof Island and the jagged Moore Mountains dominate this mid-century cartographic study of the Alexander Archipelago. Mapping reveals a landscape defined by deep fjords and maritime pathways, specifically the broad Tenakee Inlet to the north and Peril Strait to the south, which separates the land from Baranof Island. The presence of small scattered cabins along the shoreline, particularly near Kadashan Bay and its extensive tidal flat, suggests a seasonal or subsistence-based human presence within the Tongass National Forest during the late 1940s and early 1950s.
