1949 Map of Juneau B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Chilkat Range dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where steep peaks descend into the deep waters of the Lynn Canal. This coastal Alaskan environment, protected as part of the Tongass National Forest, is defined by its verticality and lack of human infrastructure. The map records a wilderness landscape where significant landmarks are primarily natural features, such as the prominent Mount Golub and the isolated Teardrop Lake. Along the eastern shoreline, the interface between land and sea is marked by extensive Tidal Flat areas and points such as Pt Howard. The boundary for the City and Borough of Juneau cuts across the water toward Lincoln Island, illustrating the expansive administrative reaches in this region during the post-war era.
