1949 Map of Juneau C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lynn Canal dominates this maritime survey, showcasing the complex coastline of Southeast Alaska as it was recorded shortly after the war. The topography highlights the steep transition from the waters of St James Bay to the high peaks of the Chilkat Range, including Nun Mountain. Navigational aids of the era are clearly marked, such as Vanderbilt Reef Light and Little Islands Light, which guided vessels through these narrow passages toward Juneau. Along the western shore, the Glacier Bay National Monument boundary indicates the protected status of the wilderness area. Evidence of the region's glacial geography is seen in the Tidal Flat areas near Boat Harbor and the mouth of the Beardslee River. Islands such as Lincoln Island and Ralston Island sit at the southern edge of the sheet, providing a detailed record of the shoreline and maritime hazards before later mid-century updates.
