1961 Map of Mount Fairweather B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Brady Glacier dominates the northern landscape of this coastal region, its massive icy expanse giving way to a complex network of fjords and peninsulas. Much of the area falls within the Glacier Bay National Monument, where the topography transitions from the high peaks of De Langle Mountain and Horn Mountain to the intricate shorelines of the Gulf of Alaska. The map reveals a wild maritime environment defined by deep-water entries like Dixon Harbor and Graves Harbor, which are sheltered by landmarks such as the Astrolabe Peninsula and Harkinson Peninsula. Numerous freshwater features, including North Deception Lake and South Trick Lake, sit tucked between the mountains and the sea, illustrating the glacial drainage patterns of the mid-twentieth century.
