1948 Map of Skagway C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Kelsall River defines the drainage of this remote borderland territory, which follows the international boundary between Alaska and British Columbia. This 1948 topographic study traces the high-altitude terrain where glacial activity remains a dominant force on the landscape, specifically marking treacherous areas of Crevasses near the mountain peaks. The geography is anchored by significant summits including Hiteshitak Mountain, Mt Prinsep, and Chilkat Peak, which tower over the deep valleys of Nataga Creek and Rosaunt Creek. The map provides a precise record of the Canada-United States border just before mid-century, capturing the physical realities of the First Judicial Division where steep elevation changes and ice fields dictate the limits of human passage.
