1949 Map of Juneau D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Lynn Canal defines the eastern edge of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the waters of the Endicott River meet the sea after descending through the Chilkat Range. The map reflects a period of significant land management transitions, with the Endicott River Wilderness and Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve occupying much of the terrain. The presence of the Haines Borough Preserve Boundary and the Tongass National Forest highlights the overlapping jurisdictional history of the region. Physical landmarks such as Sullivan Island and high-altitude Crevasses contrast with the minimal human footprint, represented primarily by the settlement of Young. This topographic record, based on late 1940s field data, captures a wilderness at the intersection of protected national parkland and the maritime heritage of Southeast Alaska.
