1951 Map of Sitka D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The boardwalk community of Pelican serves as the focal point of this Chichagof Island survey, established along the steep-walled Lisianski Inlet. By the mid-20th century, the area supported a specialized coastal economy evidenced by the Seaplane Base and a Logging Camp, while the extraction industry is represented by the Apex Mine and El Nido Mine situated near Cann Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of freshwater systems, including the Goulding Lakes, which feed into the intricate waterways of Portlock Harbor. Navigation and settlement patterns are dictated by the dramatic maritime topography, where landmarks like Sunnyside and Mirror Hbr cling to the shoreline beneath peaks such as Wedge Mtn and Apex Mtn. The map also delineates the northern boundary of the City and Borough of Sitka, illustrating the administrative reach into the Tongass National Forest.
