2017 Map of Mount Fairweather D-2 NW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park serves as the focal point for this survey, illustrating a landscape defined by retreating ice and expanding waterways. The dramatic meeting of terrestrial and maritime environments is visible where Carroll Glacier terminates near the head of Queen Inlet, a process that continues to reshape the coastline of Southeast Alaska. This map documents the complex topography of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, characterized by high-elevation landmarks like Sentinel Peak and the deep glacial fjords of Rendu Inlet and Glacier Bay. Small landmasses such as Composite Island and Triangle Island emerge from the cold waters, providing critical data points for studying coastal changes and navigation in these protected waters. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the region during this 2017 study.
