Section IV: Distances

 

 

The following gives distances from map junctions and other points to the Hwy 37 bridge (upper Stikine) or the harbour in Wrangell (lower Stikine).

Examples: The top edge of map 104H1 (at the junction with map 104H8) is 273 km from the bridge; the Chukachida junction is 188 km from the bridge.

The Hays site also gives distances, for the upper Stikine only; they are a few percent larger than mine.

 

Upper Stikine:

 

Distances in km from the point given to the Hwy 37 bridge:

275      island in Happy Lake (on 104H1)

273      junction of 104H1 and 104H8

261      junction of 104H8 and 94E5

249      end of Laslui Lake (on 94E5)

217      junction of 94E5 and 94E12

188      Chukachida River (on 94E12)

156      junction of 94E12 and 104H9

144      junction of 104H9 and 104H16

124      where vertical line 42 crosses river (on 104H16)

106      junction of 104H16 and 104H15

  88      where vertical line 15 crosses river (on 104H15)

  71      junction of 104H15 and 104H14

  59      where vertical line 90 crosses river (on 104H14)

  33      junction of 104H14 and 104H13

  12      junction of 104H13 and 104I4

  0      at Hwy 37 bridge (on 104I4)

 

Lower Stikine (Canada):

 

Distances in km from the point given to the harbour in Wrangell, with side trip to the edge of Le Conte Glacier (position as marked on the topo); according to

Sylvia of Alaska Vistas (Wrangell), the glacier is now about two miles northeast of the topo location. The direct route to Wrangell is 71 km shorter.

 

318      Telegraph Creek (on 104G14E)

311      junction of 104G14E and 104G14W

289      junction of 104G14W and 104G11

286      junction of 104G11 and 104G12

271      where horizontal line 92 crosses river (on 104G12)

251      junction of 104G12 and 104G5

238      Oksa Creek (on 104G5)

213      junction of 104G5 and 104G4

195      Jack Wilson Creek (on 104G4)

175      junction of 104G4 and 104B13

163      where horizontal line 10 crosses river (on 104B13)

143      junction of 104B13 and 104B12

131      border, at junction of 104B12 and BradC6

 

Lower Stikine (US):

 

Distances in km from the point given to the harbour in Wrangell, with side trip to the edge of Le Conte Glacier (position as marked on the topo). US maps are

named rather than numbered; Brad and Pete are short for Bradfield Canal and Petersburg. I give two distances for the junction of maps PeteC2 and PeteD2,

one for the trip toward the glacier and the other for the return

.

 117      junction of BradC6 and PeteC1 (on Ketili River)

 95        junction of PeteC1 and PeteC2 (on North Arm)

 72        junction of PeteC2 and PeteD2

 60        at NE end of Le Conte Bay (on PeteD2) as marked on topo

 47        junction of PeteD2 and Pete C2

 15       Garnet Ledge cabin (on PeteC2)

 5         junction of PeteC2 and PeteB2

0              harbour in Wrangell (on PeteB2)
