1951 Map of Taku River A-5

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this glacial landscape, characterized by dramatic ice fields and braided river systems. The Whiting River and Speel River carve through the terrain, featuring multiple rapids and expansive gravel bars that shift with the seasons. Several prominent peaks serve as aerial survey benchmarks, including Snow Tower and VABM 5225 Frosty, providing essential elevation data for this coastal wilderness. The distribution of alpine lakes like Tease Lake and Crescent Lake high above the river valleys illustrates the complex hydrological patterns of the region. These features, along with coastal markers like Whiting Point and Ox Point, highlight a rugged environment where navigation was dictated by the movement of ice and the flow of glacial meltwater.
