1991 Map of Skagway B-3 SE

About this map

Chilkat Lake and the complex braided channels of the Chilkat River dominate this 1991 provisional survey of the Haines Borough region. The map captures a wilderness area defined by rigorous conservation boundaries, including the Chilkat State Critical Habitat Area and the Chilkat Bald Eagle River Preserve. Human presence is marked by the historic Dalton Trail and the Haines Highway, which follow the river's path through the valley. Of particular interest to local historians is the location of Klucktoo, noted as a site rather than an active settlement, alongside the distinctive Nineteentnmile Slide. The terrain is steeply defined by the Chilkat Ridge and Takhin Ridge, showcasing the intersection of transport corridors and protected wildlife habitats in the late twentieth century.
