About this map

Meade Glacier dominates the southern landscape of this remote Alaskan terrain within the Tongass National Forest. Located along the rugged international boundary between the United States and Canada, this high-altitude survey captures a wilderness defined by massive ice fields and the high peaks of the Coast Mountains. The map provides a precise record of the glaciated topography near Mt Service, documenting the elevation and extent of the ice in the early twenty-first century. This data is critical for researchers tracking the movement and recession of coastal Alaskan glaciers and the shifting boundaries of the forest service lands in the Haines Borough region. The absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the extreme nature of this mountain environment, where the landscape is shaped entirely by ice and tectonic scale.
