2017 Map of Skagway C-1 SW

About this map

The Chilkoot Trail winds through the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, tracing the historic route taken by stampeders during the late 19th-century gold rush. This corridor follows the Taiya River northward, flanked by the high peaks of Mt Cleveland and Mt Carmack. To the east, the modern Klondike Highway parallels the Skagway River and its East Fork Skagway River, providing a stark contrast between the traditional footpaths and contemporary transportation infrastructure. The map records several notable landmarks within the Tongass National Forest, including the dramatic Bridal Veil Falls and Pitchfork Falls. In the southwest corner, localized features such as the Slide Cemetery Access Road and the Dyea Flats Access Road point toward the historical settlement sites at the head of the Lynn Canal, where the journey to the interior once began.
