1951 Map of Sumdum B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Stephens Passage dominates the western reaches of this 1950s coastal survey, serving as a vital maritime artery for Southeast Alaska. Along the shoreline, isolated human activity is evident at Sunset Cove, which features a CAA Relay Station and several Cabins. The interior landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Fanshaw Range, where economic interests are marked by the K and D Mine near Libby Creek and a Placer Mine further south. Maritime safety and navigation are anchored by the Five Finger Lighthouse positioned among The Five Fingers islands. The deep inlets of Hobart Bay and Port Houghton carve into the mainland, revealing a network of smaller islands such as the Robert Islands and Entrance I, while Salt Chuck indicates the specialized tidal environments of the Alexander Archipelago.
