1951 Map of Sitka D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Chichagof Island dominates this 1951 topographic study, which captures the intricate coastline of the Alexander Archipelago before the onset of modern industrial shifts. The landscape is defined by its dramatic glacial carved waterways, notably Tenakee Inlet and Port Frederick in the north, and the North Arm Hoonah Sound along the southern margin. The map provides a detailed view of the intertidal zones, specifically the extensive Tidal Flats found at the heads of these inlets and bays. Inland, the drainage systems of the Lisianski River and Granite Creek reveal the complex hydrology of the island's interior. A notable portage point, labeled simply as Portage, indicates the historic routes used to navigate between the major water bodies where the land narrows near Bell I.
