2021 Map of Juneau D-4 NE

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, characterized by the dramatic elevations of the Coast Mountains. Within this wilderness, the Kakuhan Range runs through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, culminating at the prominent Lions Head Mtn near the southern boundary. This map captures a remote section of the Haines Borough and Juneau City and Borough border, where the glacial influence on the terrain is evident in the drainage patterns of the Berners River and the secluded Independence Lake. The absence of roads or established settlements underscores the primitive state of this coastal environment, serving as a baseline for the region's geography in the early twenty-first century.
