2017 Map of Mount Fairweather D-3 NW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park serves as the focal point for this 2017 survey, documenting a dynamic glacial landscape in the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The map captures the meeting of land and sea where the Lamplugh Glacier descends toward the water, just south of the distinct maritime landmark known as Confusion Point. This coastal geometry is defined by deep fjords, including the northern reach of Glacier Bay itself and the branching waters of Johns Hopkins Inlet and Tarr Inlet. Unlike many interior maps, the terrain here is defined by shifting ice and tidal influence rather than permanent human settlement. A small drainage, Ptarmigan Creek, is visible in the southeastern portion, illustrating the intricate hydrography that emerges as the ice sheets recede from the coastal mountains.
