1951 Map of Bradfield Canal

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this mid-century coastal terrain, where the saltwater of Ernest Sound meets the deep glacial fjords of the Bradfield Canal and Blake Channel. Compiled from surveys dating back to 1927, the landscape reveals a maritime-industrial interface where the Riverside Mine sits near the international boundary with British Columbia. The intricate drainage network is defined by major glacial outlets like the Unuk River and Chickamin River, which carve through the First Judicial Division from massive ice fields such as the Chickamin Glacier and Texas Glacier. This survey records the remote human presence of the era through isolated outposts like the Shaft Cabin and Government Cabin, alongside the critical fishing and transit waters of Anan Lagoon and Burroughs Bay.
