1961 Map of Skagway A-5

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic record, capturing a landscape defined by massive ice flows and the international boundary between British Columbia and Alaska. The survey highlights the convergence of the Carroll, Cushing, and Morse glaciers as they move through high-elevation basins. To the west, the Rendu Glacier feeds toward the waters of Rendu Inlet. This 1961 field-annotated map provides a baseline of glacial extent prior to significant modern retreats, marking specific peaks such as Gable Mountain and a series of international markers including Boundary Peak 157 and Boundary Peak 158 along the rugged northwestern edge.
