1948 Map of Mount Fairweather A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The coastal fishing settlement of Elfin Cove sits tucked into the northern edge of the Chichagof Island shoreline, serving as a gateway between the open waters of Cross Sound and the protected passages to the east. This 1948 survey, revised in the early 1960s, documents the complex maritime landscape where the National Monument Boundary of Glacier Bay National Monument meets the expanse of the Tongass National Forest. The intricate coastline is defined by deep fjords like Lisianski Inlet and Port Althrop, which cut into the Althrop Peninsula and separate the mountainous interiors of Yakobi Island.
