2017 Map of Juneau B-2 SW

About this map

Mendenhall Valley serves as a focal point for this 2017 study of Juneau's coastal and mountain landscapes, where modern infrastructure meets the complex glacial topography of the region. The Juneau International Airport dominates the low-lying wetlands north of Mendenhall Bar, while the residential and commercial areas of Sunny Point and Lemon Creek are framed by the Egan Drive/Glacier Highway corridor. The transition from tidal flats at Fritz Cove to the steep slopes of Douglas Island reveals a terrain defined by drainage systems like Fish Cr and Peterson Cr. Outdoor recreation and historic infrastructure are represented by the Treadwell Ditch Trail and Heintzleman Ridge Trail, which wind through the elevations of Mt Anderson and Mt Meek. This map provides a contemporary record of how the city's growth is constrained and directed by its dramatic geography.
