Gustavus is the primary settlement on this landscape, positioned between the high peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains and the waters of Icy Passage. The area is defined by its transition from the managed wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park and Tongass National Forest to the coastal flats where the Salmon River meets the sea. The local infrastructure centers around Gustavus Airport, with a grid of residential and connector roads like State Dock Road and Good River Road serving the community. Beyond the settled areas, the map details access to the backcountry via the Bartlett Lake Trail and Towers Trail, which lead toward Bartlett Lake. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of this remote Alaskan gateway, showing how the local road system, including the descriptively named Grandpas Farm Road, navigates the complex terrain of wetlands and glacial outwash.
