1955 Map of Bradfield Canal A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Kapho Mountains and the formidable Mount Tyee tower over a complex coastal landscape of deep glacial fjords and high-altitude lakes. This 1950s survey documents a wilderness where the Bradfield Canal meets the sediment-rich Tidal Flat at the mouths of the Harding River and Bradfield River. The map captures several isolated cabins and a Gaging Sta on the Harding River, marking the minimal human footprint within the Tongass National Forest. Inland, the terrain is defined by a series of elongated alpine water bodies, including Reflection Lake, Eagle Lake, and Tyee Lake, which feed the drainages of the East Fork and Eagle River. Evidence of former activity appears at Bell Arm, where Ruins are noted near the southern edge of the sheet, providing a rare point of interest for researchers tracing early twentieth-century coastal development or industrial remnants in the region.
