2017 Map of Skagway B-3 SE

About this map

Chilkat Lake dominates this 2017 terrain study of the Haines Borough region, where the glacial waters are punctuated by the prominent Birch Island. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of the coastal mountains, with drainage provided by the Tsirku River at the northern edge and Ackman Cr to the south. The Haines Highway cuts through the northeast corner, following the river valley and providing a critical transportation link through this corridor of the Alaska Panhandle. The map illustrates the complex hydrography of the region, where wetlands and river systems interface with the steep relief typical of the Chilkat Range and surrounding wilderness near the Canadian border.
