1948 Map of Sumdum A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage converge in this mid-century maritime survey, documenting a rugged stretch of the Alexander Archipelago. The landscape is dominated by the Fanshaw Range and prominent peaks like Mount Fanshaw and Dahlgren Peak, which rise sharply from the coastline. Evidence of early industry and habitation appears at Cape Panshaw, where a Cannery (Aband) and a Light are situated near Whitney Island. To the south, the northern shoreline of Kupreanof Island is mapped, featuring the Bohemian Range and the sheltered waters of Portage Bay. The presence of scattered Cabins and navigational markers like Bird Rk highlights the era's reliance on coastal waterways for transport and commerce before the establishment of modern infrastructure in this remote coastal region.
