2017 Map of Taku River B-6 NW

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the massive Hole-in-the-Wall Glacier moves through the terrain. The map captures a rugged intersection of ice and elevation, punctuated by the Coast Mountains and prominent coastal landmarks like Swede Point. Human activity is marked by the Taku Jeep Trail, which provides a solitary path through the wetlands and slopes bordering the glacier's path. Waterways such as Johnson Cr and Davidson Cr drain the high country, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Alaskan panhandle. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring wilderness of the Juneau area, where surveyor data from the U.S. Geological Survey and Alaska Department of Transportation document the transition from glacial ice to temperate rainforest.
