1961 Map of Skagway A-7

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Grand Pacific Glacier dominates this high-altitude survey of the international border between Alaska and British Columbia. Mapping the western reaches of what was then known as Glacier Bay Nat Monument, this document records the ice-covered divide through the Fairweather Range. Several prominent peaks serve as markers for the United States Canada boundary, including Mt Lodge Boundary Peak 166, Mt Hay Boundary Peak 167, and Boundary Peak 162 Mt Turner. The map illustrates a landscape shaped almost entirely by glaciology, where the ice fields of the Grand Pacific Glacier connect high mountain summits like Mt Watson across the border. These 1961 annotations provide a specialized look at the geodetic markers and ice elevations along the frontier before the monument's eventual expansion and change in status.
