1950 Map of Juneau C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park and the Tongass National Forest converge on this coastline, where the land and sea meet in a complex network of glacial inlets and islands. Compiled from 1948 aerial photography and 1950 field annotations, the map reveals a wilderness landscape defined by tidal activity and glacial recession. The Beardslee Islands cluster at the Beardslee Entrance, leading into the sheltered waters of Hutchins Bay and Beartrack Cove. Landward, Miller Peak and the Endicott River Wilderness rise above the drainage basins of the Bartlett River and Salmon River. This 1950 revision captures the coastal topography before later wilderness boundary adjustments, documenting the specific locations of Tidal Flats and landmarks like Strawberry Island and Eider Island that guide navigation through the unpredictable waters of Glacier Bay.
