1949 Map of Juneau D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this mid-century Alaskan survey, revealing a landscape defined by retreating ice and raw geologic transition. The map provides a critical record of glacial movement, specifically noting the recession limits of the Casement Glacier and Adams Glacier as they appeared in 1966. These icy giants carve through the Chilkat Range, feeding into the tidal waters of Glacier Bay and Adams Inlet. The eastern portion of the sheet transitions from the high peaks of Tree Mountain and Mt Case into the drainage of the Endicott River. Unique topographical features like the Howling Valley and Granite Canyon illustrate the dramatic relief of the territory, while Endicott Lake sits at the foot of the Endicott Gap, marking a significant pass through the coastal mountains.
