1961 Map of Mount Fairweather D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this mid-century survey, capturing a dramatic landscape of active tidewater glaciers and deep maritime inlets. This topographic study reflects data collected by the Geological Survey and USC&GS between 1948 and 1961, documenting the icy reaches of Glacier Bay before modern retreat altered the coastline. Massive ice flows including the Lamplugh Glacier and Reid Glacier are shown pushing toward Reid Inlet, while the Hugh Miller Glacier and Scidmore Glacier descend from high peaks in the southeast. Notable maritime features such as Russell Island and Tarr Inlet provide critical reference points for the shifting ice fronts of this era. Rising above the eastern shoreline, Mount Abdallah stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the waters of Rendu Inlet and the Romer Glacier.
