1951 Map of Mt Saint Elias

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Mt St Elias anchors this survey of the international border between Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Compiled from 1948 trimetrogon photography and earlier International Boundary Commission surveys, the sheet reveals a landscape dominated by massive ice fields and high peaks. The enormous Malaspina Glacier spreads across the southern coast, while the Hubbard Glacier and Seward Glacier carve deep paths through the Saint Elias Mountains. This survey documents a critical era of post-war cartography in the First Judicial Division, capturing the complex glacial formations around Disenchantment Bay and Mt Vancouver before decades of modern glacial recession. Notable landmarks like Blossom I and the Samovar Hills provide fixed points amidst the shifting ice of the Lucia Glacier and Atrevida Gl.
