About this map

Glacial ice and deep fjords dominate this coastal Alaskan landscape within the Chugach National Forest, as documented in the mid-20th century. Massive ice fields including Yale Glacier and Meares Glacier flow into the northern reaches of Unakwik Inlet and the Yale Arm. The map records a complex network of named ice masses such as Dartmouth Glacier, Ranney Glacier, and Brilliant Glacier carved between peaks like Mount Castner and Mount Grosvenor. In the south, the terrain transitions to the sheltered waters of Miners Bay, fed by the Miners River out of Miners Lake. The survey reflects a period of intensive photogrammetric mapping by the Geological Survey, capturing the precise shoreline of Jonah Bay and Wells Bay before significant modern shifts in glacial positions.
