About this map

Gilkey Glacier and the expansive Vaughn Lewis Glacier dominate this high-altitude landscape along the international boundary where the Alaska Juneau Borough meets British Columbia. This section of the Tongass National Forest is defined by massive ice fields and sharp topographic relief, including the prominent Mt Ogilvie and the peaks of the Storm Range to the north.

The map details the complex drainage and flow of glacial systems like the Taku Glacier and Matthes Glacier as they carve through the Coast Mountains. Notable landforms such as The Wall, Avalanche Canyon, and Stronghold Peak illustrate the intense geological activity and vertical scale of this wilderness, which remained largely inaccessible and unchanged during the early 21st-century surveying period.
