2021 Map of Juneau C-2 SE

About this map

The high peaks of the Coast Mountains dominate this 2021 study of the terrain northeast of Juneau. Most of the land falls within the protected boundaries of the Tongass National Forest, showcasing a landscape of extreme elevations and naming conventions that reflect the architectural and evocative character of the summits. Notable clusters include the jagged Mendenhall Towers to the south and the Taku Towers further north, which rise along the spine of the Taku Range. The map reveals a world defined by its verticality, where isolated summits like Emperor Peak, Princess Peak, and The Dukes overlook ice-scoured basins. Unlike many lower-elevation Alaskan surveys, this sheet is almost entirely focused on glaciated peaks, offering an essential reference for mountaineering history and the study of the Alaskan panhandle's interior icefield borders.
