2017 Map of Skagway B-3 NE

About this map

Klukwan serves as a focal point in this 2017 survey, situated near the confluence of the Chilkat River, the Tsirku River, and the Klehini River. This region of the Haines Borough is defined by its dramatic waterway network and the steep elevations of the Takshanuk Mountains and Iron Mtn. The transport corridors of the Haines Highway and Klukwan Road follow the natural contours of the river valleys, connecting small settlements like Wells and Chilkat to the broader geography of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The map reveals how the landscape is shaped by these glacial river systems, which create distinctive landforms such as Glass Point where the Chilkoot River meets the larger drainage basin. This document provides an exacting look at the topographic character of southeast Alaska's interior river valleys during the early twenty-first century.
