1960 Map of Juneau D-2

About this map

Antler Glacier and the massive ice fields of the Coast Mountains dominate this remote landscape along the international border in 1960. The survey reveals a complex network of glacial flows, including the Bucher Glacier and Gilkey Glacier, which feed into the Gilkey River valley below. The boundary between Alaska and British Columbia is marked by a series of high-altitude points such as Boundary Peak 99 and Boundary Peak 97, while prominent landmarks like Mount Bressler anchor the surrounding ice sheets. This map captures the topography of the region before significant glacial retreat, showing the expansive Crevasses and dramatic vertical features like The Wall and Avalanche Canyon. It is a detailed record of the shifting ice and mountain peaks that define the border between the Haines Borough and the City and Borough of Juneau.
