About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this landscape of high peaks and ice fields, dominated by the massif of Mount Grosvenor. The map reveals a dynamic glacial environment where several major ice flows converge and terminate. Notable among these are Yale Glacier in the northwest and Meares Glacier in the northeast, while Ranney Glacier feeds into Ranney Creek as it descends toward the coast.

In the southwest, the waters of Unakwik Inlet reach into the interior, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding elevations. To the south, Brilliant Glacier further illustrates the heavily glaciated nature of this region. This survey serves as a precise record of the ice margins and coastal contours before further environmental shifts, offering essential data for those studying the topography of the Unorganized Borough.
