Icy Bay Airport sits on a narrow coastal strip where the Alaskan wilderness meets the sea, serving as a critical point of access in the Yakutat Borough. The landscape is defined by the braided drainage patterns of the Big River and Priest River, which flow from the interior highlands across a marshy coastal plain toward the Gulf of Alaska. Near the eastern edge of this shoreline, Claybluff Point marks a distinct geological feature where the terrain begins to rise. This 2017 survey details the complex hydrography of the region, including Crystal Cr and Watson Cr, illustrating the dynamic interface between glacial runoff and the open waters of the Pacific Ocean.
