1960 Map of Atlin

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Atlin stands as the primary settlement within this vast transborder landscape, where the rugged terrain of the Coast Mountains meets the sprawling waters of Atlin Lake. The map captures a critical transition in northern transportation and industry during the mid-20th century. To the west, the White Pass and Yukon RR follows the steep geography near Pennington and Bennett, serving as a legacy of the Klondike era. The presence of several former locations, such as Tutshi (Site) and Engineer (Site), points to the shifting patterns of settlement and resource extraction in the region. Immense ice fields like the Llewellyn Glacier dominate the southern portion of the sheet, feeding a complex network of waterways including the Taku Arm and the Sloko River. This survey provides a precise record of the international boundary between British Columbia and Alaska, documenting the remote peaks and glaciated valleys before significant modern development reached many of these interior reaches.
