1948 Map of Sitka D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Admiralty Island dominates this mid-century topographical study, reflecting a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and a complex hydrological network. Situated within the Tongass National Forest, the terrain is characterized by high ridges and deep drainage basins that feed into primary water bodies such as Lake Florence and Lake Kathleen. A single Cabin located on the eastern shore of Lake Florence provides a rare point of human presence in this wilderness setting, suggesting its role as a remote station or seasonal shelter for those navigating the island's interior.
