1961 Map of Skagway A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by retreating ice and emerging landforms. The immense Muir Glacier is shown in its 1960s state, feeding into the northern reaches of Muir Inlet. This document captures a period of significant glacial recession, where features like McBride Glacier and the Riggs Glacier were undergoing visible changes, leaving behind scoured terrain such as White Thunder Ridge and McConnell Ridge. To the north, the Takhinsha Mountains and Le Blondeau Glacier border the Haines Borough line, marking the transition from high alpine ice fields to the deep fjords below. Notable landmarks for navigation and study include Mount Brock, Glacier Pass, and the Bruce Hills, providing a detailed look at the geomorphology of Southeast Alaska before more modern shifts in the ice front.
