2021 Map of Skagway A-7 NW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park dominates the rugged landscape of this 2021 survey, where the ice-dominated terrain of the Saint Elias Mountains meets the international boundary between the United States and Canada. This map provides a detailed view of the high-elevation glacial environment, specifically highlighting the Grand Plateau Glacier as it flows through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. The elevation peaks at Mt Hay in the north, showing the stark topographical relief of the region. The map is defined by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural borders and the vast ice fields that characterize this protected wilderness area. This documentation captures the precise extent of the glacial cover and mountain peaks as they stood in the early 21st century, serving as a baseline for understanding the evolving frozen geography of the Alaskan Panhandle.
