The high peaks of the Coast Mountains define this international boundary region where the Tongass National Forest meets the border of British Columbia. This survey centers on a dramatic glacial landscape, most notably the Hole in the Wall Glacier, which is flanked by the sharp rises of Dipyramid and The Citadel. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and named peaks that serve as key navigational markers in this remote section of the Alaska Panhandle. To the north, Governors Ridge and Mt Moore lead toward the Canada-United States border, which follows the high divide across Elephant Promontory. The map provides an exacting record of the natural landforms and ice features as they existed in the early twenty-first century, including the distinct formations of the Picket Gate Crags.
