About this map

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park and the Tongass National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape along the border between Alaska and Canada. The geography is defined by narrow, deep incisions like Glacier Gorge and Warm Pass Valley, where the Skagway River and its tributaries, including White Pass Fork and Captain William Moore Cr, begin their descent through the mountains.

Evidence of modern access is visible via the Klondike Highway, which skirts the western edge of the quadrangle near the headwaters of Summit Lake. This area reflects the transition from historic prospecting routes to modern preservation, with the Laughton Glacier Trail providing passage into the backcountry. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the jagged peaks of the Sawtooth Range, emphasizing the dramatic vertical relief of the northern coastal mountains.
