1948 Map of Juneau C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Chilkat Range dominates this late-1940s landscape, serving as a natural divider between the protected wilderness of Glacier Bay National Monument and the Tongass National Forest. This survey captures the transition of the Alaskan shoreline, where the Excursion River flows southward into the waters of Excursion Inlet. The presence of a significant Tidal Flat at the head of the inlet indicates a dynamic intertidal environment with an average tide range of thirteen feet. Human presence is minimal and concentrated in specific shelters, marked only by scattered Cabins and a few established Trails. The northern portion of the map identifies the administrative boundary for the Haines Borough, illustrating the jurisdictional reach into these high-altitude terrains where ice fields and ridges form a complex topography.
