2017 Map of Bradfield Canal B-4 NW

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this section of the remote boundary between the United States and Canada during the mid-2010s. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of the Coast Mountains, where Mt Pounder stands as a prominent peak near the international border. The survey captures the transition from the Wrangell Borough in Alaska into the Canadian territory, illustrating the extreme topography of the northern Pacific coast. Drainage from these mountain heights feeds into the S Fork Craig River, which cuts through the northwest corner of the quadrangle. The map is a testament to the complex surveying required in such high-relief wilderness, showing the intricate contour patterns that define the mountain passes and basins along the United States-Canada border.
