1960 Map of Juneau D-2

About this map

Antler Glacier and the expansive Gilkey Glacier dominate this high-latitude survey of the Boundary Ranges during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a complex glaciated landscape where the international border between Alaska and British Columbia is defined by remote summits like Boundary Peak 99 and Boundary Peak 97. This 1960 field annotation, based on 1948 photography, captures the extent of ice fields before decades of retreat, marking extensive crevasses and dramatic landforms such as Avalanche Canyon and the sheer face of The Wall. To the south, the convergence of Echo Glacier and Battle Glacier provides a clear record of the region's topography as it was understood by the International Boundary Commission and the Geological Survey at the start of the decade.
