About this map

Robertson Glacier dominates the upper reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, shaping the terrain as it has for millennia. The massive ice field feeds into several drainage systems, including the headwaters of the Slana River in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area is defined by extreme elevation changes and ice-carved landforms, evidenced by features such as Blitz Hill and the drainage of Rumble Creek. The map provides a precise look at the glacial margins and high-altitude topography within the Unorganized Borough during the early 21st century. It serves as an essential record for those studying the shifting boundaries of Alaskan glaciers and the primitive wilderness waterways that flow from them.
