1961 Map of Mount Fairweather D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this coastal survey, where the icy flow of Desolation Glacier and Otter Glacier meet the rugged shoreline of the Pacific Ocean. This 1961 edition was compiled using photogrammetric methods from aerial photography and hydrographic data, providing a snapshot of the dynamic glacial landscape before it was redesignated as a national park. The prominent headland of Cape Fairweather serves as a navigational landmark along the Gulf of Alaska, while the inland terrain is marked by the heights of Mt. Escures. The map documents a wilderness interior devoid of roads or trails, defined by the Indefinite Boundary of shifting ice fields and the winding path of Sea Otter Creek as it drains toward the coast.
