1986 Map of Juneau B-2 SE

About this map

Juneau and the neighboring community of Douglas sit positioned along the Gastineau Channel in this mid-1980s provisional study. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of the Alaskan capital, from the State Capitol and Seaplane Base to industrial remnants like the Treadwell (Site) on Douglas Island. The landscape is dominated by the steep ascent toward Blackerby Ridge and Mount Juneau, with the terrain marked by mining history at Silverbow Basin and the massive Glory Hole. Hydroelectric development is visible at the Salmon Creek Reservoir and the downstream Salmon Creek Powerplant. The shoreline shows active maritime centers such as Harris Harbor and Aurora Basin, alongside the protected Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge to the northwest, illustrating the narrow corridor between the deep coastal waters and the wilderness of the Tongass National Forest.
