About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains define the high-altitude topography of this wilderness interface in the early twenty-first century. This region represents a complex boundary between the Tongass National Forest and Glacier Bay National Park, where glacial runoff feeds the braided paths of the Excursion River. The landscape is dominated by steep elevation changes and dense drainage patterns typical of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of Southeast Alaska, emphasizing the preservation of the landscape within federal park and forest boundaries. Researchers can examine the specific township lines, including t36s r59e and t37s r59e, to understand the underlying surveying grid applied to this otherwise trackless terrain.
