2017 Map of Mount Fairweather D-5 SW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park encompasses most of this landscape, where massive ice fields and steep elevation changes define the coastal environment. The survey documents the high-altitude reaches of the Saint Elias Mountains and the Fairweather Range, tracing the frozen paths of the Fairweather Glacier and Desolation Glacier. These geological features illustrate the dynamic nature of the Alaskan panhandle, where glaciers carve out areas like Desolation Valley. Positioned at the boundary of Yakutat Borough and Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, the map provides a precise record of these shifting ice masses and alpine features as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
