Miles Glacier and LaGorce Glacier define the glacial movement within this section of the Chugach National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the flow of the Copper River, which feeds into the expansive Miles Lake at the base of the mountains. This 2014 survey documents the hydrographic patterns of the region, including the tucked-away Van Cleve Lake and the steep walls of Baird Canyon. The interplay between the massive ice fields of the Chugach Mountains and the river systems demonstrates the constant geological shifts in this part of the Unorganized Borough. While primarily a map of natural features, the inclusion of precise township and range lines like t13s r5e provides a critical reference for understanding land management and remote wilderness boundaries in early 21st-century Alaska.
