2017 Map of Juneau C-1 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this high-altitude coastal landscape, where the massive ice fields of the Coast Mountains shape the terrain. The 2017 survey documents a significant frozen wilderness defined by the vast Taku Glacier and the adjacent Matthes Glacier. These ice flows are punctuated by sharp topographic landmarks such as Centurian Peak in the north and Exploration Peak near the center, providing essential fixed points for glaciologists and climbers navigating the shifting ice. Near the southeastern corner, Vantage Peak overlooks the Icy Basin, a stark collection of glacial features that includes the descriptively named Hole-in-the-Wall Glacier. This map serves as a precise record of these glacial boundaries and mountain elevations at a specific moment in the early 21st century.
