About this map

Chisana and its surrounding wilderness are defined by the powerful outflow of the Chisana Glacier, which feeds the braided channels of the Chisana River. The settlement pattern recorded here shows a transition from the Chisana (Former Site) at the confluence of Cross Creek to the later location further south near Chathenda Creek. This shift, documented in the mid-20th century, highlights the movement of activity toward the modern Landing Strip and Trail networks. The landscape is dominated by significant peaks such as Mt Allen and Euchre Mountain, which overlook a complex system of glacial valleys and tributary waters like Geohenda Creek and Bow Creek. The inclusion of a Cem near the older townsite provides a vital anchor for genealogists tracing the early residents of this remote mining region.
