1954 Map of Mount Fairweather D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape defined by retreating ice and advancing waterways. Centered on Muir Inlet, the map details a complex system of ice fields including Muir Glacier, Burroughs Glacier, and Plateau Glacier. The topography reveals the dynamic nature of the Alaskan coast as it appeared in the 1950s, with deep fjords like Wachusett Inlet and Tidal Inlet cutting through high peaks such as Mt Wright and Pyramid Peak. Evidence of seasonal habitation or research is noted at the Garforth I Cabin on the eastern shore, while coastal features like Sebree Island and Caroline Shoal mark the southern reaches. This document captures the transition of the region before further glacial recession altered the shoreline and revealed new terrain.
