1954 Map of Skagway B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Glacial valleys and deep fjords dominate this coastal terrain, where the Chilkat River and Chilkoot River systems converge near the head of the Lynn Canal. In the mid-1950s, the area's infrastructure was anchored by the Haines Highway and a Pipeline corridor running near the Yindastuki Indian Res. Small settlements and seasonal outposts like Chilkoot and Tanani sit perched along the shores of Chilkoot Lake and Tanani Bay, illustrating the tight relationship between the local economy and the navigable waterways of Lutak Inlet and Taiya Inlet. High-altitude features such as Ferebee Glacier and the Takshanuk Mountains define the interior, showing the dramatic transition from sea-level harbors to ice-carved peaks like Mount Kashagnak and Mt Ripinski.
