Sawyer Glacier dominates the upper reaches of this high-latitude terrain, where ice and elevation define the borderlands of the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area. The landscape is primarily within the boundaries of the Tongass National Forest, showcasing the massive scale of the Alaskan wilderness. Along the eastern edge, the international boundary separates Alaska from Canada, with the United States of America line cutting through steep, unnamed peaks and glacial valleys. This 2017 survey provides a detailed record of the ice extent and topographical contours during the early 21st century, serving as a critical data point for understanding the physical geography of this coastal range before further glacial retreat occurs.
