2017 Map of Skagway B-1 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the high peaks of the Coast Mountains meet the deep waters of Taiya Inlet. The terrain is defined by extreme vertical relief, rising from the shoreline at Low Point to the prominent summit of Mt Villard. This 2017 survey captures the hydrology of the glacial wilderness, showing the course of the Katzehin River in the southeast and the remote Paradise Lake tucked into a high basin. The map also delineates the political boundary between Skagway Municipality and Haines Borough, which cuts across the steep drainage of Kasidaya Cr. This area is characterized by short, steep coastal streams like Dayehas Cr that drop rapidly from alpine heights to the sea, reflecting the classic fjord topography of Southeast Alaska.
