1959 Map of Yakutat A-2

About this map

The Alsek River delta dominates this coastal landscape where the river meets the Gulf of Alaska. During this mid-century period, the area exhibits a transition from early industrial activity to a more seasonal or temporary presence, as seen by the Cannery (Aband) located along Muddy Creek. The coastline is marked by a complex system of shifting sands and water, including the large Dry Bay and its extensive Tidal Flat areas. Transportation in this remote corner of the Tongass National Forest relies on informal routes such as a Tractor Trail and an Old RR Grade, alongside a Landing Strip for air access. Scattered Cabins suggest a landscape used for subsistence or seasonal work, while various named waterways like Williams Creek and Gines Creek feed into the braided river system.
