2017 Map of Mount Fairweather D-6 NE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this terrain, representing a wilderness defined by its massive moving ice and high-elevation topography. The map illustrates the convergence of two significant ice features: the Grand Plateau Glacier to the north and the Sea Otter Glacier further south. These glaciers are part of a larger interconnected icefield system that continues to shape the coast of Yakutat City and Borough. Detailed contour lines reveal the sheer verticality of the surrounding peaks, illustrating how the glacial flow is channeled through high mountain passes before descending toward the Pacific. The lack of human infrastructure or established trails reflects the primitive state of this protected landscape, where the primary narrative is one of geological and glaciological change rather than human settlement.
