About this map

Mendenhall Glacier and Norris Glacier dominate this subarctic landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The map documents the high-elevation glacial systems and drainage basins of the Coast Mountains, where ice fields feed prominent waterways like Lemon Creek and Nugget Creek. Human access to this interior wilderness is marked by the Nugget Creek Trail and Lemon Creek Trail, providing routes through the steep transitions from valley floors to high ridges. Notable landmarks include the dramatic North Nugget Spire and the ironically named Death Valley located between major ice flows. The presence of Tlaxsatánjin represents a localized point of interest within a terrain otherwise defined by severe natural features like Two Echo Cliffs and Heintzleman Ridge.
