1959 Map of Yakutat B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Brabazon Range dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where glacial runoff feeds an intricate network of braided rivers and marshlands. Large ice bodies like the Yakutat Glacier and Chamberlain Glacier drain into deep basins, most notably Harlequin Lake. The transition from alpine ice to the Gulf of Alaska is marked by a vast expanse of the Tongass National Forest, characterized by shifting river channels and seasonal wetlands. Human presence is sparse, represented by a lone Cabin and a remote Landing Strip near the banks of the Dangerous River. Of particular interest to those studying historical transport and access is the Akwe Tractor Trail, which runs parallel to the coastline between the Italio River and the Akwe River, providing a rare terrestrial link through the damp coastal plain.
