1991 Map of Skagway B-3 NE

About this map

Klukwan sits at the vital confluence where the Klehini River and Tsirku River meet the Chilkat River, serving as a central point of settlement in this northern Alaska landscape. The 1991 provisional survey documents the intricate river systems and mountain peaks, including the prominent Takshanuk Mountains and Iron Mountain. Land management is a primary focus of this record, detailing the extensive Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve (State) and the Haines State Forest Resource Management Area. The map reveals local infrastructure such as the Klukwan Highway and the crossing at Wells Bridge near the small settlement of Wells. Genealogists and historians can identify localized markers including a Cem and specific land survey boundaries like Haines Borough Indian US Survey 33, reflecting the complex overlay of tribal, state, and federal land interests in the borough.
