1960 Map of Taku River C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the international boundary between British Columbia and Alaska cuts through high alpine ice fields and mountain peaks. The map reveals a complex glacial system, with the massive Twin Glacier feeding directly into Twin Glacier Lake and the Bacon Glacier situated further north. The drainage pattern is defined by the Taku River and its confluence with the Wright River, creating a corridor of waterways and shifting gravel bars. Human presence is sparse, represented only by isolated Cabins and a Cabin near the riverbanks, highlighting the remote nature of this border territory in 1960. Distinctive landmarks like Devils Paw and Kluchman Mountain serve as essential navigational markers among the unnamed ridges and high-altitude features like Michaels Sword and The Horn Peaks.
