South Sawyer Glacier and the Sawyer Glacier dominate this high-latitude terrain within the Tongass National Forest. Located along the border of the Hoonah - Angoon Census Area and Petersburg Borough, the landscape is defined by the massive ice fields of the Coast Mountains. This 2018 survey illustrates the modern extent of these glacial systems, providing a precise record of ice coverage and topographic contours at the height of the 21st century. The map serves as a vital point of comparison for those studying the movement of Alaskan glaciers and the evolving boundary between ice and the surrounding forest lands.
