1951 Map of Juneau A-1

About this map

Kutena Indian Burial Grounds on the northern shore of the mainland provides a poignant historical focal point amidst the glacial waters of the Tongass National Forest. This mid-century survey captures the maritime landscape south of Juneau, where the Gastineau Channel meets Stephens Passage. The topography is dominated by the steep rises of Douglas Island and the Glass Peninsula, separated by the deep waters of Seymour Canal. On the eastern shore, Taku Harbor is shown with its Seaplane Base and Taku Harbor settlement, serving as a vital coastal link before the expansion of modern infrastructure. Significant landmarks such as Williams Mountain and the ice-carved basin of Goldstein Gl illustrate the dramatic coastal environment of Southeast Alaska. Cultural fragments like Dupont and various shelter cabins denote a landscape defined by seasonal industry and wilderness navigation.
