2017 Map of Mount Fairweather D-6 SE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this 2017 survey, where the icy flow of the Fairweather Glacier descends toward the coast from the heights of the Saint Elias Mountains. The landscape is defined by massive topographical relief, rising sharply to the peak of Mt Escures and the jagged ridgelines of the Fairweather Range. This portion of the Yakutat Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area remains largely pristine, with the drainage of Justice Cr providing one of the few named watercourses in a region of shifting ice and permanent snowfields. The map illustrates the complex boundary where these two administrative areas meet amidst the high-altitude wilderness of southeastern Alaska.
