2017 Map of Juneau C-3 SE

About this map

Eagle Glacier and Herbert Glacier dominate the upper elevations of this terrain within the Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by the transition from the high Coast Mountains down to the shores of the Gulf of Alaska at Eagle Harbor. The drainage systems of the Eagle River and Herbert River create natural corridors through the wilderness, reflected in the network of historic routes. A concentrated system of trails, including the Amalga Trail, Yankee Basin Trail, and Windfall Lake Trail, suggests a long history of access to the high basins and lakes. The placement of the Glacier Highway and Herbert River Road near the coast highlights how modern infrastructure followed these established natural paths. For researchers, the presence of named features like Cottrell Basin and Thane Mtn provides specific points for tracing local geological and exploration history in the region north of Juneau.
