2018 Map of Bradfield Canal A-1 SW

About this map

Mt Jefferson Coolidge stands as a prominent landmark along the international boundary where the Canada United States of America border cuts through the high reaches of the Coast Mountains. This 2018 survey captures a glaciated landscape defined by significant ice and water features, including the expansive Casey Glacier in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The area is part of the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the remote wilderness character of the Alaska-British Columbia frontier. Water systems like Texas Lake and the drainage of W Fork Texas Cr and Ibex Cr trace the paths of glacial melt through the steep elevations. The map also delineates the administrative boundary between the Prince of Wales - Hyder Census Area and Ketchikan Gateway Borough, marking a remote intersection of local and international jurisdictions.
