1960 Map of Atlin A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Meade Glacier dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Alaska and British Columbia, illustrating the immense scale of the ice fields in the mid-twentieth century. Meltwater from the southern reaches of this glacial system feeds the Lace River, which flows through the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a complex network of crevasses and ice features including the Ogive Glacier, positioned between prominent peaks like Mount Leland and Mt Canning. An Indefinite Boundary reflects the challenging nature of surveying this terrain, where the international line between the United States and Canada runs across peaks such as Mount Pullen. This survey records the position of these ice masses before decades of environmental change, offering a precise view of the region's topography as field-annotated in 1960.
