About this map

Whittier serves as the focal point of industrial and maritime activity at the head of Passage Canal during the early 1950s. This strategic port is connected to the interior via the Alaska Railroad, which pierces the surrounding peaks through a significant tunnel near Portage Pass. The map reveals the infrastructure of the era, including a CAA Station, an Airstrip, and a cluster of tanks near the water's edge, highlighting the town's role as a vital transportation and logistics hub for the region.
