1959 Map of Yakutat A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Gulf of Alaska waters dominate this coastal survey, where the shoreline is defined by dynamic river systems and expansive maritime terrain. The Akwe River and Ustay River weave through a landscape of marsh and forest, protected within the Tongass National Forest. Inland access during this era was facilitated by a solitary Tractor Trail that parallels the coastline, indicating the difficulty of travel across the shifting Tidal Flat. Remote Cabins positioned near the river mouths suggest seasonal or specialized use of this rugged environment, likely for fishing or trapping. The hydrographic data, compiled from USC&GS charts, highlights the complex transition from the deep gulf to the shallow, silted estuaries of the Alaskan panhandle.
