About this map

Stikine-Le Conte Wilderness dominates this corner of the Tongass National Forest, where massive ice fields and tidal waters meet. The landscape is defined by the dramatic descent of the Le Conte Glacier and Summit Glacier toward the deep waters of Le Conte Bay. Coastal geography is marked by prominent landmarks such as Timber Point and the towering Horn Cliffs, which rise sharply from Frederick Sound.

Away from the tidewater, the terrain climbs toward high summits including Thunder Mountain and Simpson Peak. The map highlights the administrative boundary between the Petersburg Ranger District and Wrangell Ranger District, illustrating the remote management of these glacial valleys. A few isolated cabins represent the only human infrastructure in a wilderness shaped by the Muddy River and the relentless movement of ice.
