1951 Map of Sitka C-7

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Chichagof and the smaller settlement of Klag represent the primary human outposts on this complex coastline within the Takeena Peninsula and surrounding islands. The map details a labyrinthine network of waterways including Klag Bay, Slocum Arm, and Ogden Passage, which were vital for maritime navigation and the local mining economy. Steep coastal peaks like Doolth Mountain and Whitestripe Mtn tower over Kimshan Cove and Black Bay, illustrating the vertical nature of the Alaskan wilderness. Small inlets and hazards such as Ninefoot Shoal and Khaz Breakers are documented from mid-century hydrographic charts, reflecting the region's dependence on sea travel before the advent of modern infrastructure. The presence of Herbert Graves Island and Hill Island creates protected corridors like Imperial Passage, shielding inner harbors from the open Pacific Ocean.
