1961 Map of Mount Fairweather D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape of active ice and deep marine fjords before the modern era of rapid glacial retreat. Centered on Russell Island, the map documents the convergence of several massive ice flows including the Lamplugh Glacier, Reid Glacier, and Hugh Miller Glacier. The geography here is defined by tidal inlets like Johns Hopkins Inlet and Tarr Inlet, where the ice meets the sea under the peaks of Mount Abdallah and Mount Parker. This record reflects the condition of the bay as it was observed in 1961, providing a baseline for researchers and historians studying the changing shoreline and ice positions within this protected Alaskan wilderness. Small features like Ibach Point and Ptarmigan Creek offer localized points of reference amidst the overwhelming scale of the ice fields.
