1995 Map of Taku River C-6

About this map

Taku River and its glacial tributaries define this segment of the International Boundary between Alaska and British Columbia. The landscape is dominated by the massive ice fields of West Twin Glacier and East Twin Glacier, which feed into Twin Glacier Lake. High-altitude features like Hades Highway and Ivy Ridge overlook a network of peaks, including Devils Paw and Michaels Sword. Along the riverbanks, scattered cabins and a Gaging Station indicate seasonal human activity and monitoring in the Tongass National Forest. The presence of Canyon Island and various creek systems like Yehring Creek and Moose Creek highlight the drainage patterns through the City and Borough of Juneau as the river moves toward the coast. This 1995 revision provides a detailed view of the evolving glacial margins and remote mountain landmarks in the late twentieth century.
