2017 Map of Taku River B-5 OE E SW

About this map

The Coast Mountains dominate the southwestern corner of this survey, where the international boundary between the Alaska Panhandle and British Columbia, Canada is clearly delineated. This 2017 study captures a remote portion of the Tongass National Forest, showcasing a landscape defined by high-elevation terrain and an intricate network of glacial drainages. The map provides a precise look at the border zone in the early 21st century, illustrating how the geopolitical boundary follows the natural ridgelines of the mountain range. While much of the sheet is dedicated to the hydrological features of the upper Taku River watershed, the inclusion of public land designations like Tongass National Forest highlights the managed nature of this vast wilderness area near the northern Pacific coast.
