1992 Map of Skagway C-1 NW

About this map

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park anchors this 1990s survey, documenting the legendary transit corridor between Alaska and British Columbia. The map provides a detailed look at the challenging ascent toward the Canada-United States border, centered on the arduous trek through Chilkoot Pass. Historic transit stops such as Sheep Camp and Pleasant Camp sit alongside the Taiya River Trail, marking the traditional path of stampeders. The geography is defined by high alpine features including Mount Van Wagenen and the Saussure Glacier, which emphasize the physical barriers faced by early travelers. The presence of The Scales (Site) serves as a reminder of the logistical hurdles encountered at the base of the final climb, while the headwaters of Lindeman Creek and the expanse of Crater Lake indicate the shift toward the interior waterways of the Yukon drainage.
