About this map

Glacier Bay National Park encompasses most of this landscape, where massive ice flows and high ridges meet the coastal waters of Charpentier Inlet. The topographical survey highlights the dramatic verticality of the terrain, rising from the shoreline to prominent summits like Gullied Peak and Red Bed Peak. Glacial activity is a defining characteristic of the geography, with Charpentier Glacier and Maynard Glacier occupying deep valleys carved into the surrounding mountains. Notable ridgelines such as Goat Ridge and Enigma Ridge divide the icy basins, providing a clear record of the area's geological composition during this contemporary era. The map traces the intersection of glacial recession and coastal geomorphology, essential for understanding the shifting environment of this protected wilderness.
