1952 Map of Juneau B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The industrial and glaciated wilderness of the Alaskan panhandle is documented here in the early 1950s, centering on the corridor between Taku Inlet and the Gastineau Channel. This era of mineral extraction and infrastructure development is evident in the proximity of Thane to a complex network of Mines and Prospects linked by an Aerial Tram. The presence of Portal Camp and Camp No 6 near the Approximate Townsite Boundary indicates the active human footprint in this demanding environment. Beyond the settlements, the landscape is dominated by the massive Taku Glacier and Norris Glacier, along with the curiously named Hole-in-the-Wall Glacier. Significant hydro-industrial activity is recorded along Annex Creek, where a Pipe Line leads to a Power Plant at the shoreline, supporting the remote operations within the Tongass National Forest.
