PLAN FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF BROWN BEAR 



17 



an area of 60 square miles 2 covering the Thayer Mountains (fig. 3) 

 and lying between Lake Hasselborg and Thayer Lake, as shown on 

 the map (fig. 1). No logging will be permitted on this area. 



2. Small heavily-stocked areas of ready accessibility where bears 

 can be observed by naturalists, photographers, and the general public. 

 The entire watershed of Pack Creek, 21 square miles, which empties 

 into Seymour Canal near the north side of the entrance to Windfall 

 Harbor, is now withdrawn for this purpose. No logging is to be 

 done and no form of land use or occupancy is permitted in this 

 watershed.

 Island. All lands surrounding Thayer Mountain and the lakes are a part of the Thayer 

 Mountain closed area. 



3. Lands in the general vicinity of logging camps, trollers' camps, 

 and other centers of seasonal occupancy, where this action may be 

 advisable to assist in controlling casual or illegal killing. 



4. General recreation areas, consisting of small tracts to be admin- 

 istered solely for recreational purposes. No hunting of any kind 

 and no logging or any form of land use will be allowed on such areas. 



2 Thayer Mountain closed area on Admiralty Island is described as follows : Beginning 

 at the foot of the waterfall at the mouth of Hasselborg River on Salt Lake, head of 

 Mitchell Bay ; thence along the easterly bank of the Hasselborg River to the outlet of 

 Hasselborg Lake ; thence along the west shore of said lake to the outlet of the creek 

 flowing into the head of the lake ; thence upstream along the east bank of said creek to 

 the trail crossing ; thence in a southwesterly direction along the trail to the head of 

 Thayer Lake ; thence along the easterly shore of said lake to the extreme southern end 

 of the lake ; thence southeasterly approximately 2 miles in a straight line to the west 

 end of Salt Lake at the head of Mitchell Bay ; thence along the line of mean high tide of 

 Salt Lake to the foot of the waterfall on Hasselborg River, the place of beginning ; as 

 shown on the map (fig. 1). The total area is approximately 60 square miles.
