USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Scott Glacier and Sheridan Glacier dominate this landscape within the Chugach National Forest, showcasing a complex glacial system at the mid-century. The map meticulously documents the extensive networks of crevasses and the drainage patterns of the Rude River and Glacier River. Topographic detail is derived from 1950 aerial photography, providing a precise record of ice movement and mountain terrain before significant modern climate shifts. Notable signs of human presence include radio towers near the coast and a solitary cabin near Bear Lake, suggesting a period of light utility and seasonal habitation in this corner of Alaska's Third Judicial Division.
