2021 Map of Taku River A-6 NW

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where steep coastal terrain is defined by dramatic glacial valleys and high alpine lakes. Central to the map is Lake Dorothy, fed by the cascading waters of Dorothy Cr as it flows through the Bald Mountains. The mapping of these remote water systems reflects the complex hydrology of the Juneau area, where the Long River and Long Lake serve as primary drainage features. To the south, Crater Cr carves through deep contours, illustrating the unpopulated and largely inaccessible character of this wilderness area. This modern survey provides an exact record of the shoreline and elevation patterns that have shaped the region's natural history and hydroelectric potential.
