2017 Map of Icy Bay D-2 SE

About this map

Gulf of Alaska waters dominate this coastal survey, where the open expanse of the Pacific Ocean meets the southern maritime boundaries of the Alaska Yakutat Borough. The map highlights a critical navigational and administrative corridor, including the Whittier - Yakutat line. As a modern digital representation of this remote shoreline, the sheet focuses on the intersection of borough jurisdictions and the vast marine environment. The lack of terrestrial landmarks emphasizes the isolation of this reach of the northern Pacific, serving primarily to define the territorial waters and administrative divisions of the region in the early twenty-first century.
