Tongass National Forest encompasses the massive glaciated terrain of the Coast Mountains in this high-altitude landscape. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns and ice fields of the Dawes Glacier and the North Baird Glacier, illustrating the dynamic frozen environment of Southeast Alaska. Aside from the massive ice sheets, distinct landmarks like Hump Knoll rise above the surrounding ice and rock. This 2021 study documents the contemporary state of these glacial systems, providing a precise topographic view of the sheer elevations and the boundaries of the forest as they existed at the start of the 2020s. The lack of settlements or roads underscores the wilderness character of this remote borough.
