1955 Map of Bradfield canal B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Kapho Mountains dominate this mid-century topographic survey, where the drainages of the Harding River and the North Fork Bradfield River carve through high-elevation terrain. This remote wilderness, entirely contained within the Tongass National Forest, represents a landscape of ice and water as it was recorded during aerial photography in 1948 and field-annotated in 1955. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the region, including the White River and Fall Lake. Lacking roads or trails at the time of survey, the sheet highlights the natural barriers and river corridors that dictated access for early resource explorers and surveyors in this part of Southeast Alaska.
