Glacier Bay National Park dominates this coastal survey, where the glacial landscape meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is characterized by massive ice fields and the dramatic transitions of the Grand Plateau Glacier and Sea Otter Glacier. This area, managed under the Public Land Survey System as Townships t34s r45e and t35s r45e, showcases the raw topographical shifts where ice gives way to the sea. Notable landforms like Desolation Valley and the drainage of Sea Otter Cr illustrate the dynamic hydrography of the Yakutat region. The map provides a high-resolution 2017 record of these ice margins, essential for tracking the shifting footprint of glaciers within the national park system.
