1951 Map of Sumdum C-5

About this map

Windham Bay serves as the focal point for coastal activity on this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape shaped by tidal flats and mining interests. The presence of the Windham PO at the head of the bay, along with the Chuck Mining Camp situated nearby along the Chuck River, indicates a period of persistent resource extraction within the Tongass National Forest. Navigation through The Narrows connects these inland reaches to the open waters of Stephens Passage. This area, which includes the significant landmass of Sumdum Island in Endicott Arm, reflects a rugged maritime economy where transit relied heavily on sheltered coves like Sanford Cove and named landmarks such as Pt Windham. Several cabins and a single Mine label further attest to the sparse but deliberate human footprint in this Alaskan wilderness.
