Le Conte Glacier and its dramatic drainage into the head of Le Conte Bay dominate this coastal Alaskan landscape. Contained within the Tongass National Forest, the region is defined by steep glacial valleys and sharp coastal points. The map details the transition from the ice of the main glacier and the smaller Shakes Glacier in the southeast to the open water of the bay. Notable landmarks like Thunder Point, Timber Point, and the high elevation of Simpson Peak provide critical navigation references in this wilderness area. The survey also captures the administrative boundary between Petersburg Borough and Wrangell Borough, illustrating how these remote jurisdictions meet amidst the ice and fjords.
