Katakwa Point in Detail.

About

SE tip of Tongass I., Coast Mts.

History

Local name derived from the Tlingit Indian name for the island, "Kut-tuk-wah," which was published in 1869 by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS). This may be the same point that Lieutenant Commander H. E. Nichols, U.S. Navy (USN), called "Tongass," published in the 1891 Coast Pilot (p. 80).
