2017 Map of Skagway A-4 SW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates this terrain, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic glacial activity and tidal waters. The topography centers on the intersection of ancient ice and the sea, where the Carroll Glacier moves through the western reaches while the Bruce Hills rise to the south. This area serves as a primary study in post-glacial landscape evolution, as the massive ice sheets that once covered these peaks continue to recede and reshape the coastline. The waters of Muir Inlet penetrate the northeastern corner of the map, providing a glimpse into the intricate network of fjords that characterize this protected wilderness. In a region where the land is literally rising due to isostatic rebound, the map documents the precise contours of these transitioning elevations, from the sea-level inlets to the high ridges of the interior.
