1953 Map of Taku River

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates the landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the complex borderlands where Alaska meets British Columbia. The international boundary is meticulously marked by a series of high-altitude stations, from Boundary Peak 94 in the north down to Mt Hill near the southern edge. Along the coast and river ways, small outposts like Taku Lodge and Hubbard serve as human anchors in a territory of immense glacial systems, including the Twin Glacier and Wright Glacier. The presence of the U S Customs station near Taku Inlet highlights the strategic importance of the Taku River as a corridor for movement between the coast and the interior. Numerous high-altitude lakes, such as Lake Dorothy and Long Lake, are nestled between unnamed peaks, feeding the intricate drainage systems of the Whiting R and Speel River.
