1961 Map of Skagway A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Glacier Bay National Monument dominates this mid-century survey, capturing a landscape of active ice and maritime boundaries. The map focuses on the upper reaches of Tarr Inlet, where the Margerie Glacier and Rendu Glacier meet the waters of Glacier Bay. This area represents a critical point of international geography, as the international boundary between the United States and Canada runs through the high peaks of the Fairweather Range. High altitude markers such as Boundary Peak 161 Mt Forde and Boundary Peak 160 Mt Barnard serve as fixed points along the British Columbia and Alaska border. Topographic details like mapped Crevasses provide a glimpse into the glaciological state of the region during the late 1940s and early 1950s aerial photography window.
