1949 Map of Atlin

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the southwestern corner of this reconnaissance study, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada cuts through high alpine terrain. The geography is defined by the massive Meade Glacier, which flows through the Coast Mountains as they span the border between Alaska and British Columbia. This late 1940s survey, compiled from trimetrogon photography, captures the primary peaks of the region, including Snow Top, Mt Canning, and Mt Poletica. The map serves as a record of the remote borderlands before more modern surveying techniques replaced these early reconnaissance efforts, showing the relationship between the ice fields and the high granite summits of the Alaskan panhandle.
