1954 Map of Skagway C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Klehini River and its expansive braided channels dominate this 1954 survey of the wilderness north of Haines. Flowing through a valley defined by the Canada-United States boundary and the border with British Columbia, the river system meets the Chilkat River in a complex network of wetlands and shifting bars. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Tohitkah Mountain, Klukwah Mountain, and Klutshah Mountain, which rise sharply above the river drainages. This era of mapping, based on 1948 aerial photography and 1954 field annotation, captures the glacial hydrology and topography of the region before any modern infrastructure or roads were established. Minor tributaries like the Kelsa River, Nataga Creek, and the Tahini River feed into the main stems, illustrating a landscape defined entirely by its natural watercourses and high-altitude summits like Mt Raymond.
