1951 Map of Sitka C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Chichagof Island is defined by an intricate network of fjords and sounds, as documented in this early 1950s survey of Southeast Alaska's Alexander Archipelago. The landscape is dominated by the deep incisions of North Arm Hoonah Sound and South Arm Hoonah Sound, which isolate peaks like Hirst Mtn and Rust Mtn from the coastline. Evidence of human presence is sparse, confined primarily to seasonal or resource-based Cabins tucked away in Fick Cove. The mapping reflects a maritime economy and environment where transportation relied entirely on the water, highlighting features like the Slocum Arm and Patterson Bay. Large Tidal Flats and inland water bodies such as Waterfall Lake and Sister Lake suggest a complex hydrologic system fed by the high peaks of the Khaz Peninsula.
