2017 Map of Mount Fairweather B-3 NE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park encompasses much of this coastal wilderness, where the high peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains meet massive ice flows and glacial runoff. The landscape is defined by the massive Brady Glacier, which dominates the northern and eastern reaches of the quadrangle. Moving toward the coast, the terrain gives way to the drainage of the Dixon River and the isolated waters of N Deception Lake. This 2017 survey reveals the complex hydrology of a region where mountain ice and sea level interact, documenting the specific boundaries of the national park and the township grids of T39S and T40S. The map serves as a precise record of late 2010s glacial positions and topographical relief in one of Alaska’s most formidable maritime environments.
