1955 Map of Bradfield canal A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Burroughs Bay serves as the focal point of this coastal wilderness, where glacial waters from several major river systems converge within the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the massive Spur Mountain and a network of drainages including the Unuk River, Hulakon River, and Klahini River. While the terrain is primarily defined by its steep elevations and ice fields, evidence of human presence is found in small clearings along the riverbanks. The mapping identifies specific outposts such as Bishop Ranch and Matney Ranch near the mouth of the Unuk, alongside scattered cabin sites. These isolated settlements, along with markers like Jane No 2 and various VABM survey points, indicate the difficult work of mid-century navigation and land management in this coastal corridor.
