1952 Map of Sumdum

About this map

Indian Village and the small settlements of Sumdum and Windham anchor this mid-century topographic record of the Alaskan panhandle. The landscape is defined by the massive ice fields and active tidewater glaciers of the Tongass National Forest, where the South Sawyer Glacier and Dawes Glacier meet the deep fjords of Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm. The map documents the industrial and cultural footprint of the era, from the Chuck Mining Camp near Windham Bay to Jamestown on the shores of Port Houghton.
