1948 Map of Mount Fairweather B-1

About this map

The coastal waters and mountainous shorelines of southeast Alaska are captured in this 1948 survey, showing a landscape defined by the intersection of Glacier Bay National Monument and the Tongass National Forest. The map focuses on the complex waterways of Icy Strait and Glacier Bay, where high-elevation landmarks like White Cap Mountain rise sharply from the coastline. A single Cabin located near the tidal flats of the Dundas River provides a lone indication of human activity in an area dominated by intricate maritime geography.
