1959 Map of Yakutat B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Brabazon Range dominates the eastern portion of this coastal landscape, where the Yakutat Glacier and Chamberlain Glacier feed into a complex network of glacial meltwater. The transition from the high peaks to the Gulf of Alaska is marked by the expansive Harlequin Lake, which drains through the strikingly named Dangerous River. This 1959 survey reveals the intricate hydrography of the Tongass National Forest, showing a labyrinth of braided channels including the Italio River and Akwe River as they snake through lowland flats toward the sea.
