2021 Map of Skagway B-8 NW

About this map

The Alsek River dominates this northern Alaskan landscape, carving a wide valley through the high peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains. This survey documents a critical wilderness corridor where the river flows southeast toward the Pacific, flanked by the glacial ice and steep topography of Glacier Bay National Park. The map captures the international boundary where the Canada-United States border cuts diagonally across the rugged terrain, illustrating the remote and inaccessible nature of the Yakutat City and Borough region in the early twenty-first century.
