1960 Map of Taku River C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The International Boundary between Alaska and British Columbia cuts diagonally across this 1960 survey, marking a stark division through the glacier-sculpted terrain. The massive Wright Glacier dominates the southern portion of the mapped area, its frozen expanse pushing toward the high elevations of the Wright Peaks. To the north, the drainage basin of the Taku River and its tributaries, including the Sittakanay River and Fish Creek, define the landscape. This portion of the Tongass National Forest remains largely untouched by development, focusing instead on the dramatic natural topography of the coastal mountains. The map provides an essential record of the glacial boundaries and watercourses as they appeared at the start of the 1960s.
