1951 Map of Sitka C-5

About this map

Chichagof Island and Baranof Island dominate this coastal survey, separated by the intricate waterways of Peril Strait and Deadman Reach. The landscape is defined by its deep inlets and steep maritime topography, from the heights of Finger Mtn in the Moore Mountains down to the complex shorelines of Hoonah Sound and Ush K Bay. The map records a wilderness largely devoid of terrestrial infrastructure, where the primary markers are coastal landmarks used for navigation.
