1961 Map of Mount Fairweather D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Mount Fairweather and the towering peaks of the Fairweather Range dominate this northern Alaskan landscape during the early 1960s. This survey, compiled from 1948 and 1961 aerial photography, documents the massive ice systems within Glacier Bay National Monument and across the international boundary between Alaska and British Columbia. The map illustrates a high-altitude wilderness where naming conventions reflect the raw environment, seen in features like Desolation Valley and Desolation Glacier. Large ice flows including the Margerie Glacier, Fairweather Glacier, and Johns Hopkins Glacier are depicted with detailed contouring, showing their reach toward the coast. Notable markers like Mt Root and Mount Quincy Adams serve as fixed points along the Canada-United States border, providing essential survey data for this remote portion of the Saint Elias Mountains.
