1955 Map of Sumdum D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm converge in this mid-century topographic study of the coastal fjords within the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the massive Sumdum Glacier and the peak of Mt Sumdum, which tower over a network of glacial lakes including Icefall Lake and Sweetheart Lake. The shoreline along Holkham Bay reveals significant cultural history at Indian Villages (Aband), located near the mouth of Powers Creek. This area, managed within the City and Borough of Juneau, shows the stark relief of the Snettisham Peninsula and protected anchorages like Williams Cove and the waters surrounding Harbor Island. The map documents the intricate coastline before modern shifts, featuring numerous crevasses and tidal flats that define this maritime environment.
