About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates the interior of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the interplay between glacial runoff and tidal inlets is clearly defined. The terrain is characterized by the parallel paths of the Bartlett River to the west and the Excursion River to the east, both carving through the high elevations of the surrounding ranges before descending toward the coast. In the southeast corner, the freshwater flow of the Excursion River meets the saltwater of Excursion Inlet, a geographic relationship critical to the area's historical role in fishing and maritime transport. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the preserved status of the land, highlighting the topographic isolation and natural drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area.
