1961 Map of Mt Fairweather B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

La Perouse Glacier and Finger Glacier dominate this coastal section of the Glacier Bay National Monument in the early 1960s. The coastline is defined by the sharp projection of Icy Point, which separates the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska from the protected reach of Palma Bay. The terrain rises sharply from the shore toward South Dome and the interior heights of Mount Marchainville, illustrating the dramatic glacial topography that characterizes this wilderness area. The survey reveals the extensive reach of the National Monument Boundary (Indefinite) as it stretched out into the gulf, marking a time when these remote shorelines were being formally documented by the U.S. Geological Survey. Sparse drainages like Kaknau Creek provide the only breaks in the heavily glaciated landscape.
