2017 Map of Mount Fairweather B-1 NE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park defines this coastal landscape where the waters of the Gulf of Alaska meet the protected inlets of the Alexander Archipelago. The intricate shoreline, marked by landmarks such as Rush Point and Point Carolus, illustrates the complex geography of the Fairweather range as it slopes toward the sea. Inland, the map reveals the dense topographical relief typical of this wilderness, while the coastal waters are divided by the Sitakaday Narrows and the Beardslee Entrance. The lack of road infrastructure and human settlements emphasizes the character of this protected area, focusing instead on the hydrographic detail of Glacier Bay and Ripple Cove. Researchers and geographers can observe the intersection of deep-water channels and the steep, glaciated terrain of the Southeast Alaska panhandle during the early twenty-first century.
