1959 Map of Yakutat A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Akwe River and Ustay River converge as they approach the narrow shoreline of the Gulf of Alaska in this late 1950s survey. This remote coastal stretch within the Tongass National Forest is defined by shifting hydrology, where the rivers meander through a broad Tidal Flat before reaching the sea. A solitary Winter Trail parallels the coastline, indicating the seasonal transport routes used in this part of Alaska during the mid-twentieth century. The map provides a detailed look at the bathymetry and topography of a landscape where the coastal forest meets the North Pacific, highlighting the sparse human footprint in an environment dominated by glacial drainage systems and tidal influences.
