1948 Map of Juneau C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Chilkat Range peaks dominate the western edge of this coastal survey, where the towering Nun Mountain looks out over the intricate waterways of Southeast Alaska. The landscape is defined by the expansive Lynn Canal and the protected waters of St James Bay, which is sheltered by the Lynn Brothers islands. Marine navigation at the end of the 1940s is anchored by the Vanderbilt Reef Light, a critical landmark for vessels threading the passage between Lincoln Island and the mainland. In the northwest, the William Henry Bay area serves as a transition into the Glacier Bay National Monument. This survey captures a wild maritime environment before modern development, highlighting landforms like Lance Pt and Pt Whidbey alongside the many Tidal Flats that reveal the region's dramatic tidal range.
