1954 Map of Skagway C-4

About this map

Ketsatl River defines the drainage of this mountainous international corridor, situated along the boundary where British Columbia meets the United States. Annotated in the mid-1950s, the landscape is dominated by significant peaks including Hiteshitak Mountain, Mt Ashmun, and Mt Seltat. The map highlights a territory void of roads or trails, where glacial features and high-altitude terrain dictate the geography. Tributaries like Nataga Creek and Pleasant Creek feed into the river systems through steep valleys, while Mt Prinsep and Chilkat Peak stand as prominent landmarks in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This survey serves as a record of the remote borderlands before modern infrastructure changed the character of these mountain passes.
