1951 Map of Taku River A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Port Snettisham dominates this 1951 coastal survey, cutting deep into the wilderness of the Tongass National Forest. The dramatic glacial landscape is defined by the Speel Arm and the confluence of the Speel River and Long River. While most of the terrain consists of high summits like Everett Peak and Fillmore Peak, the presence of the Whigg Placer Mine near Mallard Cove highlights the era's ongoing mineral interest in the region. Mapping data from 1948 aerial photography reveals a network of high-altitude water bodies including Lake Dorothy and Crater Lake, which fed the coastal inlets. This sheet captures a critical intersection of maritime passage along Stephens Passage and the industrial potential of the Alaskan interior, evidenced by the Gaging Sta located along the upper river systems.
