2017 Map of Juneau D-2 NW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by massive glacial formations and deep topographic relief. The map center is largely occupied by the northern reaches of the forest, while the frozen expanse of Field Glacier stretches across the northern border, and Bucher Glacier marks the southeastern corner. This survey documents the remote boundary line between Haines Borough and Juneau Borough, which cuts across the high ridges. The map illustrates a transitional environment of permanent ice and rugged forest land, offering a detailed look at the drainage patterns and elevation contours that define this portion of the Panhandle before the impact of 21st-century glacial recession.
