About this map

The coastal archipelago of Southeast Alaska, encompassing Chichagof Island, Baranof Island, and Admiralty Island, is mapped here at a pivotal time of mid-century development. The city of Sitka serves as a focal point, flanked by the historical site of Old Sitka and the prominent volcanic cone of Mount Edgecumbe. This survey highlights a landscape defined by its maritime connections, showing numerous coastal settlements like Tenakee Springs, Angoon, and Pelican that relied on the intricate waterways of Chatham Strait and Peril Strait for commerce and travel.
