2017 Map of Mount Fairweather D-6 SW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this coastal landscape where the steep terrain of the Saint Elias Mountains meets the Pacific. The prominent westward projection of Cape Fairweather serves as a primary landmark along the Gulf of Alaska, marking a transition from the ice-carved interior to the open sea. This 2017 survey details the complex glacial hydrology of the region, including the Fairweather Glacier and the Fairweather Range as they appeared in the early 21st century. While the land remains largely untracked, a transit line for the Pelican - Juneau route offshore indicates the maritime connections vital to this part of the Yakutat Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The map provides a precise record of the shifting coastline and the intricate contour patterns of the Alaskan wilderness.
