2017 Map of Mount Fairweather D-4 NE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park serves as the backdrop for this study of massive ice flows and coastal transformation in the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The map captures the complex movement of several distinct glacial systems, including the Margerie Glacier and Topeka Glacier, as they advance from the high ridges down toward the tidewater. The shoreline of Johns Hopkins Inlet is particularly well-defined, showing the dramatic interface where the ice meets the sea near Jaw Point. Detailed contouring reveals the sheer verticality of the terrain surrounding the Toyatte Glacier and Kadachan Glacier, providing a clear record of the area's geological character. This topographic survey documents the state of these retreating ice masses at a specific moment in the early twenty-first century, offering a baseline for researchers tracking Alasks's changing coastal environment.
