1959 Map of Yakutat C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Hidden Glacier and the massive ice field of West Nunatak Glacier dominate this mid-century topographical study of the Alaskan wilderness. Published by the Geological Survey from 1948 aerial photography, the map documents the complex glacial landscape within the Tongass National Forest before more modern shifts in ice coverage. The terrain is defined by massive ice flows and stark peaks, including Black Tit and Crescent Mountain, which loom over the Moser and Fourth Glacier systems. The map details the drainage patterns of Moser Creek and Miller Creek, which cut through the forested green belts at the base of Slate Peak. This record serves as a primary source for understanding the mid-20th-century extent of the Yakutat Glacier and its surrounding network of ice and rock.
