Lewis Green’s The Boundary Hunters: Surveying the 141st Meridian and the Alaska Panhandle provides a diplomatic and spatial history of the International Boundary Commission survey that established the official border between British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska following the 1903 dispute settlement. Green chronicles the physical feats of Canadian and American survey crews climbing glaciated Coast Mountain peaks and surveying rugged coastal valleys. The volume details police and customs posts along overland pack routes such as Pleasant Camp on the Dalton Trail, exploring mineral exploration at Rainy Hollow, river transit around Bennett, and the isolated mining enclave along the Tulsequah and Taku rivers.
