1954 Map of Skagway A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Takhinsha Mountains and the massive glacial systems of Glacier Bay National Monument dominate this mid-century topographic survey. This frozen landscape is defined by the slow movement of the Casement Glacier and McBride Glacier, which flow toward the waters of Muir Inlet. The map illustrates a transitional period in Alaskan territory management, showing the National Monument Boundary as it intersects with the Haines Borough. At the northern edge, the Takhin River valley provides a break in the high-altitude terrain, which includes notable summits such as Mount Krause, Sitth-gha-ee Peak, and Coleman Peak. To the south, prominent landforms like McConnell Ridge and Van Horn Ridge mark the complex geology surrounding the ice fields.
