1951 Map of Mt Saint Elias

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains dominate this 1951 reconnaissance, illustrating the massive ice fields and peaks along the international boundary. The Malaspina Glacier spreads across the southern landscape, fed by the Seward Glacier and Agassiz Glacier. This survey records the proximity of high-altitude summits like Mt St Elias and Mt Vancouver to the tidewaters of Disenchantment Bay. Notable for its tracking of the United States Canada border, the map identifies numerous boundary markers including Boundary Peak 187 and Boundary Peak 180. Smaller features like Blossom I and the Samovar Hills provide scale to the vast glacial systems, including the Hubbard Glacier and Turner Glacier, during a period of mid-century aerial photogrammetric compilation.
