Chugach National Forest preserves a landscape dominated by the immense ice flows of the Yale Glacier and Columbia Glacier. Rising above these glacial valleys are the prominent peaks of Mt Einstein, Mt Langmuir, and Mt Defiant, which serve as the primary topographic markers in this high-elevation wilderness. The map illustrates the complex interaction between glacial recession and mountain terrain, with detailed contouring that traces the steep slopes and ice fields of the northern Chugach Range. This 2016 survey reflects the state of these critical glacial systems in the early twenty-first century, providing a baseline for studying the shifting ice margins and the evolving drainage patterns within the Unorganized Borough.
