2017 Map of Juneau D-2 SE

About this map

Mt Blachnitzky and the surrounding peaks of the Coast Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The 2017 survey documents a world defined by massive ice fields and the steep drainages they carve. Glacial movement is visible through several named features, including the Gilkey Glacier in the northeast, Bucher Glacier to the west, and Echo Glacier in the south. The dramatic verticality of the terrain is represented by prominent landmarks like The Wall and the deep cut of Avalanche Canyon. This map serves as a contemporary record of a wilderness where topographical changes are driven primarily by ice and elevation rather than human settlement, preserving the names of the remote physical features that define the Alaska panhandle.
