2015 Map of Juneau B-4 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where the high ridges of the Alaska panhandle descend toward the Pacific. The southern edge of the sheet meets the maritime environment of the Gulf of Alaska and the Icy Strait, where the shoreline is defined by the Icy Flats. Moving inland, the topography is marked by steep elevations and glacial valleys like Bear Valley, punctuated by isolated alpine water bodies such as Teardrop Lake. The land is largely uninhabited, characterized by the rugged wilderness of the Kushtakaa terrain. This 2015 edition provides a detailed look at the hydrology and contour of the region, including the seasonal water levels at Lake View and the complex drainage patterns feeding into the straits.
