1949 Map of Juneau D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic record, capturing a landscape defined by retreating ice and tidal waters. The survey illustrates the dramatic geography of Adams Inlet and the massive Casement Glacier, which feeds into the northeastern reaches of Glacier Bay. To the south, White Glacier flows toward the coast, framed by peaks such as Mt Case and Snow Dome. This map also documents the complex overlapping administrative boundaries of the era, where the national monument borders both the Tongass National Forest and the Chilkat National Forest. The eastern portion of the sheet follows the Endicott River drainage as it cuts through the Endicott Range, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of Endicott Lake and the Beartrack River before they reach the sea.
