2017 Map of Mount Fairweather A-3 NE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park encompasses the rugged coastline where the Saint Elias Mountains meet the sea. This coastal area is dominated by the Fairweather Range, where sharp elevation changes occur within miles of the shore. The coastal topography is defined by features such as the Polka Peninsula and the small Polka Rock just offshore. Maritime navigation is central to the area's geography, indicated by the transiting Pelican - Juneau ferry route crossing the Gulf of Alaska. Near Point Villaluenga, the coastline is deeply indented, showing the complex interaction between the high peaks and the Pacific Ocean. This survey illustrates the protected wilderness character of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, focusing on the uninhabited maritime and mountainous borders of the park.
