1951 Map of Sumdum D-6

About this map

Snettisham (Aband) sits at the edge of Port Snettisham, serving as a silent reminder of early 20th-century industrial activity in the Tongass National Forest. This 1951 record highlights the extractive history of the Snettisham Peninsula, where Crystal Mines and Friday Mine operated amidst the steep terrain. The landscape is defined by deep glacial fjords and heavy runoff, marked by Sweetheart Falls and the silt-laden mouth of the Whiting River at The Gorge.
