2017 Map of Taku River A-4 SW

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the towering peaks of the Coast Mountains define the local topography. This 2017 survey illuminates the extreme vertical relief of the Alaska panhandle, showing a wilderness area characterized by vast ice fields and steep ridgelines. The map records the jurisdictional boundary between the Juneau Borough Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, a line cutting through some of the most inaccessible terrain in North America. Unlike many lower-elevation maps, the lack of roads or established settlements here emphasizes the area's preservation as a primitive natural environment, where land management is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids such as t44s r74e and t43s r75e. This sheet is an essential reference for understanding the glacial geography and federal land boundaries of the northern Pacific coast.
