About this map

The Gastineau Channel shoreline and the steep mountain ridges above Juneau define this mid-1980s topographic study. The settlement of Thane occupies a narrow strip of land between the water and the rising slopes of Roberts Peak, marked by industrial and maritime activity including a Fish Hatchery and Sub Sta. Further inland, the landscape is dominated by the massive Lemon Creek Glacier and Norris Glacier, illustrating the ice-bound character of the high country east of the city.

Industrial history is preserved through labels for several Adits, a Prospect, and the presence of Portal Camp. The map also captures the interior drainage systems of Gold Creek and Salmon Fork, which cut through the Tongass National Forest. For genealogists and local historians, the specific locations of Camp No 6 and various named peaks like Hawthorne Peak and Olds Mountain offer precise spatial context for the region's wilderness development and mining era infrastructure.
