1950 Map of Sitka D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

White Sulphur Springs sits at the coastal edge of this remote Alaskan wilderness, a region dominated by the maritime corridor of Lisianski Strait. Established within the Tongass National Forest, the map details the intricate coastlines of Yakobi Island and Chichagof Island, where numerous inlets like Squid Bay and Stag Bay carve into the mountainous interior. To the north, the Bohemia Basin and its namesake Bohemia Cr suggest early mineral interests or exploration in this glaciated terrain. The 1950 survey, based on 1948 aerial photography, provides an essential record of the natural topography before modern development, marking significant landmarks such as Takanis Peak and the sheltered waters of Surge Bay on the Pacific's edge.
