About this map

The Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve dominates the riverine landscape where the Chilkat River, Klehini River, and Tsirku River converge. This 1991 provisional survey captures a critical ecological and transit corridor, showcasing the Haines State Forest Resource Management Area and the Mosquito Lake State Recreation Site.

Evidence of the region's pioneering history is found in the Dalton Trail, which runs parallel to the Klehini River and the modern Haines Highway. The map details the complex drainage patterns around Mosquito Lake and the Little Salmon River, while the heights of the Takshanuk Mountains rise to the east. Landmarks such as Devils Elbow and the Gaging Station near the Steel Bridge provide specific points of reference for those tracing the historical geography of the northern Panhandle.
