1948 Map of Skagway C-1

About this map

The rugged corridor between Alaska and British Columbia is defined by the historic overland routes that funneled thousands during the gold rush era. Following the Taiya River, the Chilkoot Trail climbs toward the formidable Chilkoot Pass on the international boundary, passing through checkpoints like Finnegans Point. To the east, the White Pass and Yukon Route railway winds along the Skagway River and through White Pass, serving as a vital industrial artery with infrastructure like the Water Tank near the Glacier station.
