About this map

Yakataga Ridge stands as a prominent divide in this coastal Alaskan landscape, where glacial ice meets the terminal waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The massive White River Glacier and Eberly Glacier dominate the high elevations, feeding a network of drainages that descend toward the shoreline. This 2017 survey shows the intricate relationship between moving ice and the resulting river systems, including the White River and Munday Cr.

Along the coast, the transition from mountainous ice fields to the sea is marked by Umbrella Reef, a distinct maritime landmark. The presence of numerous named drainages such as Crooked Cr, Lawrence Cr, and Shukurn Cr indicates a highly active hydrological environment shaped by meltwater. This map provides a detailed look at the contemporary state of these glacial features before further environmental shifts alter the coastline and ice margins.
