1961 Map of Mount Fairweather D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Glacier Bay National Monument boundary lines the eastern edge of this coastal survey, where the glacial ice meets the open sea. While the vast majority of the map is dominated by the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean, the northern margin reveals the terminal edge of the Grand Plateau Glacier. This 1961 field-annotated sheet captures a remote wilderness during a period of transition, noting an Indefinite Boundary along the monument's southwestern reach. The topography is defined by steep glacial runoff and shoreline elevation changes reaching over 600 feet immediately inland from the coast. Compiled from aerial photography taken in 1948 and hydrographic data from the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, it documents the maritime character of this uninhabited Alaskan coastline before modern changes in glacial extent and environmental management.
