1951 Map of Sitka D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Chichagof Island is the centerpiece of this mid-century survey, dominated by the deep waters of Tenakee Inlet which cuts through the heart of the terrain. The landscape is entirely contained within the Tongass National Forest, showing a pristine coastal wilderness before significant modern development. Numerous coves and bays provide natural maritime shelter, including Salt Lake Bay and the extensive Tidal Flat areas of Long Bay and Seal Bay. Inland, the drainage systems of Freshwater Creek and Game Creek indicate a complex network of freshwater resources feeding into the Pacific. Navigational landmarks like Midway I and The Narrows reflect the critical reliance on water-based transit in this Southeast Alaska region during the early 1950s.
