About this map

Glory Lake dominates the upper reaches of this coastal wilderness within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and glacial hydrology. The drainage system is anchored by the Farragut River, which flows south toward Farragut Lake, carving through the steep topography of the Petersburg Borough. High-altitude landmarks like Maury Peak provide fixed points of reference amidst the dense contour lines, marking the sharp relief typical of the Alaskan panhandle. This 2021 survey utilizes high-resolution SPOT imagery to document the precise shoreline of these remote water bodies and the intricate wetland patterns along the river corridor, offering a clear view of the region's natural state in the early 21st century.
