1960 Map of Taku River

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Taku River and its massive glacial systems dominate this mid-century survey of the rugged borderlands between the City and Borough of Juneau and British Columbia. The landscape is defined by the movement of ice and water, from the sprawling Tulsequah Glacier and Wright Glacier to the drainage of the Inklin River across the high Taku Plateau. While the terrain is predominantly wilderness, human presence is noted at Taku Lodge along the lower river and the mountaineering milestone of Camp 4 Peak. Notable peaks like Mount Fremont Morse and Mount Ogden tower over deep valleys and turquoise waters such as Turner Lake and the long expanse of Tatsamenie Lake. The map serves as a detailed record of the international boundary line and the complex hydrology of the Whiting River and Sheslay River systems before modern development.
