1948 Map of Sitka D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Yakobi Island and the western edge of Chichagof Island define this coastal survey, where the intricate shoreline of the Pacific Ocean meets the interior waters of Southeast Alaska. The landscape is dominated by the narrow Lisianski Strait and the mountainous interior of the Tongass National Forest, rising to summits like Takanis Peak and Pinnacle Mountain. Small outposts such as Mindalina, Greentop, and White Sulphur Springs indicate the localized human presence along these remote waterways, likely serving as seasonal camps or resource points.
