2017 Map of Skagway A-4 SE

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this high-latitude terrain, where the dynamic relationship between ice and sea is meticulously charted. The map centers on the waters of Muir Inlet, a deep fjord flanked by the massive topographic rises of White Thunder Ridge and the prominent Wolf Point to the south. This 2017 survey provides a detailed look at the modern glacial landscape, marking significant elevations such as Mt Brock and McConnell Ridge that define the eastern and western horizons. For those studying environmental history or local geography, the map identifies specific natural passages like Glacier Pass and the high spine of Minnesota Ridge. The contour work reflects a landscape still being shaped by the elements, showing the sheer relief of the coastal mountains as they meet the tidewaters of the Alaskan coast.
