About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States cuts diagonally across this high-altitude landscape within Glacier Bay National Park. The terrain is defined by massive ice fields and slow-moving glacial systems, including the southern reaches of Muir Glacier and the expansive Carroll Glacier. Located in the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, this map documents the frozen geography along the northern reaches of the Alaskan panhandle.

The presence of Boundary Peak 157 on the frontier line illustrates the precise surveying required to demarcate the national boundary through such unforgiving ice. Smaller flows like Morse Glacier contribute to the complex network of drainage and ice movement that has shaped this region over millennia. This 2017 survey provides a high-resolution view of these changing features as they appeared in the early twenty-first century.
