2017 Map of Juneau D-3 SE

About this map

Antler Glacier dominates the northeastern corner of this coastal Alaskan landscape, situated within the protected boundaries of the Tongass National Forest. The glacial melt feeds into the Antler River, which winds through the northern valley before the topography shifts south toward the course of the Gilkey River. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex relationship between ice, water, and elevation in the region north of Juneau. The presence of Antler Lake in the southwest quadrant provides a distinct hydrological reference point amidst the steep, undeveloped terrain of the Alexander Archipelago. The map serves as a record of the drainage patterns and ice extent in a period of active environmental change, documenting the exact contours of the glacial terminus and the braided river systems that define this wilderness.
