2000 Map of Petersburg D-1

About this map

Tongass National Forest and the Sitkine - Le Conte Wilderness define this high-altitude landscape along the international border. This revision, based on imagery from the turn of the millennium, documents a massive glacial system dominated by the Le Conte Glacier and Shakes Glacier. The topography is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Shakes Lake to prominent summits like Mount Pratt and Castle Mountain. The map serves as a critical record of the United States Canada boundary line, tracing its path across high peaks such as Boundary Peak 69 7329. Other significant ice masses, including the Summit Glacier and Popof Glacier, are mapped in detail, showing the intricate relationship between the ice fields and the surrounding peaks of the Coast Mountains.
