1961 Map of Mount Fairweather A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Glacier Bay National Monument shoreline and the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska dominate this mid-century survey. While much of the sheet covers the deep soundings of the Pacific Ocean, the northeastern corner captures the complex coastal geography where the monument boundary meets the sea. Landforms such as Polka Peninsula and the prominent Point Villaluenga mark the entrance to Glacier Bay, providing a clear record of the coastline as it appeared in the early 1960s. The map also identifies navigational hazards including Graves Rocks and Polka Rk, alongside an Indefinite Boundary that speaks to the ongoing maritime and territorial surveying efforts of the era. This chart is a specific intersection of conservation history and nautical charting, documenting the remote perimeter of one of Alaska's most significant protected wilderness areas.
