1963 Map of Stepovak Bay D-5

About this map

Ivanof Bay and the adjacent Humpback Bay dominate this remote coastal landscape along the Kupreanof Peninsula. The 1963 survey captures the maritime infrastructure of the era, centered around a Cannery and its associated Seaplane Anchorage on the northern shore of Ivanof Bay. This region is defined by complex shorelines where the Ivanof River and Humpback Creek meet the sea, creating vast Tidal Flats and Stepanof Flats. To the west, the Granville Portage cuts through the lowlands of Smoky Hollow, providing a historical transit route toward Stepovak Bay. Scattered Cabins near Kupreanof Harbor and on James Island suggest the seasonal nature of fishing and trapping life in the mid-20th century before significant modern development altered these remote outposts.
