Glacier Bay National Park and the Tongass National Forest meet in this high-latitude terrain within the Chilkat Range. The landscape is dominated by the steep ascent to Yang-Webster Peak, which stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of the Haines Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The absence of roads or developed settlements highlights the true wilderness character of the region during this 2017 survey. Instead of human infrastructure, the focus remains on the dramatic elevation changes and the administrative boundaries that divide these protected lands. This map is a valuable resource for understanding the topography of the northernmost sections of Southeast Alaska before the more recent changes in glacial retreat and forest succession.
