1948 Map of Juneau C-6
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this coastal survey, reflecting a landscape defined by retreating ice and complex maritime waterways. Captured from 1948 aerial photography, the map reveals the intricate network of the Beardslee Islands and the sheltered waters of Hutchins Bay. The topography rises sharply toward the Chilkat Range to the east, where the boundary of the Tongass National Forest meets the monument. The presence of several Tidal Flats and the meandering courses of the Beartrack River and Salmon River illustrate the dynamic alluvial processes at work in this wilderness area. This document serves as an essential record of the shoreline and glaciated terrain before later environmental shifts altered the coastal profile of Glacier Bay.
