2017 Map of Juneau D-5 NW

About this map

The high ridges of the Chilkat Range dominate this corner of Southeast Alaska, where dramatic elevation changes define the landscape. This 2017 survey details the intersection of major protected wilderness areas, specifically the eastern boundary of Glacier Bay National Park and the rugged expanse of the Tongass National Forest. The map traces the administrative divide of the Haines Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area as it traverses these steep summits and glacial valleys. Water features are sparse but significant at this altitude, represented by the headwaters of Berg Cr. The lack of human infrastructure or roads highlights the wilderness character of the region, emphasizing its value for researchers tracking ecological boundaries and high-alpine topography.
