2021 Map of Skagway B-1 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the boundary between Skagway Municipality and Haines Borough cuts across ice-carved peaks and valleys. The map documents a dramatic vertical environment, centering on the high elevations of Mt Villard and the sprawling expanses of Villard Glacier and Schubee Glacier. These glacial systems feed several waterways that descend toward the coast, including Kasidaya Cr and Dayebas Cr. To the west, the land meets the deep waters of Taiya Inlet at Low Point, while the southeastern corner is defined by the braided path of the Katzehin River. This 2021 survey provides a high-resolution look at the current state of glacial margins and drainage patterns in a region defined by its geological transition from mountain ice to tidal saltwater.
