1960 Map of Sumdum A-1

About this map

Le Conte Glacier dominates the southern portion of this high-altitude survey, representing a remote glacial landscape at the international border between Alaska and British Columbia. The terrain is defined by the heavy ice coverage and massive peaks that mark the boundary line, including the formidable Kates Needle on the eastern edge. To the north, the elevation continues to rise through ice fields toward Mount Burkett and Mount T, illustrating the complex glaciology of the Stikine Icefield region during the mid-twentieth century.
