2017 Map of Mount Fairweather B-2 NE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this portion of the Alaskan coast, where the massive elevations of the Fairweather Range and the Saint Elias Mountains meet the tidal waters. The topography is defined by dramatic vertical relief, with contour lines indicating steep glacial valleys and peaks that overlook the surrounding wilderness. The Dundas River flows through a broad alluvial corridor, eventually draining into the northern reaches of Dundas Bay. This 2017 survey reflects a landscape largely untouched by permanent human settlement, instead highlighting the complex hydrography and natural boundaries of this protected maritime environment. The intricate shoreline of the bay reveals a network of smaller inlets and wetlands typical of the region's dynamic coastal ecosystems.
