About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal mountain landscape, where ice and sea define the terrain. The presence of massive ice flows like Dawes Glacier and the Baird Glacier illustrates the glacial processes that carved the deep fjords found at Tracy Arm. This survey highlights the international frontier between the Canada United States border, following the high ridges of the Baird Range and marked by points such as Boundary Peak 74.

The central portion of the map is designated as the Fords Terror Wilderness, a name that suggests the formidable nature of this tidal inlet. Smaller alpine glaciers, including Buddington Glacier and Oasis Glacier, are mapped in detail along the steep interior slopes. The administrative division between the Juneau Petersburg Ranger District is also recorded, providing a glimpse into the late 20th-century management of these remote Alaskan lands.
