1951 Map of Sitka D-1

About this map

Admiralty Island National Monument dominates this mid-century coastal survey, illustrating the complex intersection of deep waterways and high mountain peaks. The map details the central reach of Seymour Canal, which splits the island's landscape between the peaks of Randolph Peak and Morse Peak to the east and the inland waters of Hasselborg Lake to the southwest. Significant for those tracking early conservation and research infrastructure, the map identifies a Bear Observatory along Pack Creek and various shelter cabins and cabins scattered along the rugged shoreline.
