1985 Map of Icy Bay D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Malaspina Glacier dominates the eastern expanse of this coastal landscape, showing a complex network of terminal moraines and glacial flows where the ice meets the sea. This mid-1980s provisional survey captures a dynamic environment where the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Wrangell-Saint Elias Wilderness protect the transition from high-altitude ice fields to the tidal waters of Icy Bay. The intricate drainage patterns of the Yahtse River and Caetani River reflect the constant shift of outwash plains and sediment. Along the southern edge, the coastline meets the Gulf of Alaska, with the map noting where the Boundary Follows Shoreline. Notable offshore features like Gull Island stand as landmarks in the bay, providing critical reference points in an area defined by glacial retreat and riverine sediment deposit.
