2021 Map of Mount Fairweather B-2 SE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park and the Tongass National Forest meet in this coastal section of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The landscape is dominated by the steep southern reaches of the Saint Elias Mountains, which descend sharply into the waters of Dundas Bay and Fern Harbor. This maritime environment is defined by its complex network of channels and islets, including the Inian Islands and Taylor Island. The nautical character of the region is evident in the naming of critical maritime passages like North Inian Pass and Middle Pass. Small, secluded inlets such as Inian Cove and the distinctively named The Hobbit Hole suggest the specialized local knowledge required to navigate this portion of the Alaskan coast. The map illustrates a wild intersection of mountain and sea, where landforms like Point Wimbledon act as prominent coastal markers.
