An 1888 Alaska Commercial Company map of Alaska

Published 4-15-2021 | Last updated 4-15-2021


The Alaska Commercial Company was a mainstay of life in Alaska throughout American ownership of the territory.

This 1888 map[1] displays the trade network, along with many villages throughout Alaska. It is the same map purchased by the Kodiak History Museum in 2013.[2] This copy was purchased in 2019 by the Choss Lore project. The map was scanned in sections and digitally stitched together, please excuse minor artifacts at the image boundaries.
