About this map

Icy Strait and Cross Sound converge in this 1961 topographical representation, defining the rugged maritime landscape of the Hoonah A-2 region. The map details the intricate coastlines and waterways surrounding Lemesurier Island and the Inian Islands, providing a precise look at the navigational routes through North Inian Pass and Whidbey Passage. Further north, the expansive waters of Glacier Bay open up, dotted with landmarks such as Willoughby Island and Francis Island.

Near the coast, genealogists and historians may find interest in the Wooten Cem and Paint Creek Cem, as well as the Paint Creek Ranch. Along the mainland, the Dundas River flows into Dundas Bay, while Taylor Bay and Fern Harbor offer protected inlets along the jagged shore. This document captures the wilderness of the Alaskan coast before significant modern development, preserving the original names of points like Pt Carolus and Pt Wimbledon.
