1955 Map of Bradfield Canal

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the southwestern portion of this mid-century survey, where the glacial landscape meets the intricate waterways of the Alaskan panhandle. The map documents the international boundary between Alaska and British Columbia, cutting through high peaks such as Snowcap Mtn and Mt Whipple. The glacial systems here are extensive, including the Hoodoo Glacier, Twin Glacier, and the Great Glacier, which feed into major arterial waterways like the Iskut River and Bradfield River.
