1997 Map of Juneau B-1

About this map

The Taku Inlet and its surrounding icefields dominate this landscape, where massive glacial formations like the Taku Glacier and Norris Glacier meet the sea. During the late 1990s, the industrial and maritime character of the region is evident in the presence of the Power Plant at Annex Creek and the small settlement at Thane along the Gastineau Channel. This area served as a critical corridor for resource extraction and utility infrastructure, as evidenced by the multiple Mines and Prospects scattered across the mountain ridges. Remote outposts such as the Taku Glacier Cabin and Portal Camp provided essential shelter for forest service personnel and surveyors. The topographic detail captures the steep transition from the tidewater of Sunny Cove to the high alpine peaks of Hawthorne Peak and Martin Peak.
