Le Conte Glacier dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where ice meets the tidal waters of Le Conte Bay. The map documents a dramatic glacial environment within the Tongass National Forest, showing the sharp elevation changes around Simpson Peak and the southern edge of Shakes Glacier. Coastal markers such as Thunder Point and Timber Point define the entrance to the bay, providing critical navigation references in this maritime wilderness. The boundary between Petersburg Borough and Wrangell City and Borough cuts through the terrain, illustrating the modern administrative divisions of this glacier-carved region. The presence of Wrangell in the southern portion suggests the proximity of regional settlement amidst the high-altitude peaks and ice fields.
