1948 Map of Juneau B-1

About this map

Industrial infrastructure and glacial activity dominate this mid-century view of the mountainous terrain east of the Juneau Townsite Boundary. The landscape is defined by the massive flows of the Taku Glacier and Norris Glacier, which terminate near the silt-laden Ooze Flats and Grizzly Bar. Evidence of early 20th-century resource development is scattered throughout the southern region, specifically around the settlement of Thane and the steep slopes above the Gastineau Channel. An Aerial Tram and several mines underscore the area's mining history, while a Pipe Line runs from a dam at Annex Lakes down to a Power Plant on the shores of Taku Inlet. Further inland, isolated outposts like Portal Camp and Camp No 5 sit among peaks such as Roberts Pk and Middle Pk, marking the reach of human activity into the Tongass National Forest.
