1951 Map of Skagway C-1

About this map

Chilkoot Pass and White Pass dominate this 1951 survey of the boundary between British Columbia and Alaska. This mountainous terrain marks the critical gateway into the interior during the gold rush era, showing the infrastructure developed to traverse these high-altitude gaps. The White Pass and Yukon route is clearly delineated, tracking alongside the White Pass Fork toward Summit Lake. This railroad and trail network provided a mechanical alternative to the grueling manual labor required at Chilkoot Pass.
