1959 Map of Yakutat B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Alsek River dominates this landscape, carving a wide braided path through the coastal mountains of Southeast Alaska as it appeared during mid-century surveys. This territory, situated within the Tongass National Forest, highlights the intersection of the Brabazon Range and the massive Novatak Glacier, where numerous crevasses are documented across the ice fields. The map provides a detailed look at the international border, showing the Canada United States line and the British Columbia Alaska boundary, including segments marked as an Indefinite Boundary. The lack of roads or trails on this 1959 sheet reflects the extreme isolation of this glacial corridor before modern development, focusing instead on the raw physical geography of the river and its surrounding peaks.
