1959 Map of Yakutat B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Chief Situk Grave and a nearby Cem anchor the cultural landscape along the lower Situk River, marking a place of long-standing significance within the Tongass National Forest. This mid-century coastal survey documents the transition from the Gulf of Alaska to the intricate network of tidal waterways and silting estuaries. The economy of the era is evident at the Cannery situated near Johnson Slough and the cluster of Cabins positioned on the Ahrnklin River. Aviation infrastructure is established inland at the Yakutat Airport, which is connected to the shore by light-duty roads and radio communication sites. The coastal geography is defined by shifting sands and low-lying terrain, including Blacksand Island and the Blacksand Spit, where the rivers meet the sea.
