2017 Map of Skagway C-3 SE

About this map

Takshanuk Mountains define the high-elevation interior of this region within the Haines Borough. This landscape is marked by extreme relief and glacial topography, dominated by the peaks of Klukwah Mtn and Klutshah Mtn. Mapping in the 21st century highlights the persistence of these massive geological formations in one of the more inaccessible reaches of southeast Alaska. The absence of roads, settlements, or structures emphasizes the wilderness character of the terrain, where the only human-defined markers are the surveying boundaries for t26s r56e and surrounding townships. This 2017 survey provides a precise modern baseline for tracking glacial recession and geological shifts in the high peaks north of the coastal inlets.
