1954 Map of Skagway A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Haines and Port Chilkoot occupy the strategic Deshu Isthmus in this mid-1950s survey, serving as a gateway between the maritime world of Chilkoot Inlet and the inland reaches of the Chilkat River. The landscape is dominated by the immense glacial systems of the Chilkat Range, including the expansive Davidson Glacier and the crevassed fields of Garrison Glacier. This edition records the infrastructure of the era, from the Haines Highway winding along the river to a pipeline, Tanks, and a Landing Field near the settlement. Along the coast, the economic character of the region is evident at Pyramid Harbor and a Cannery at Letnikof Cove, while the southwestern corner of the sheet transitions into the protected wilderness of Glacier Bay National Monument.
