About this map

Tazlina Glacier and Stephens Glacier dominate the high-altitude terrain in this remote part of the Alaskan interior. The landscape is defined by massive ice fields and the deep glacial valleys of the Hallet River and Stephens Creek. In the southeastern corner, the northern edge of the Klutina Glacier is visible, feeding the drainage systems that carve through the wilderness. This survey demonstrates the intricate relationship between high-latitude glaciation and hydrology, where the movement of ice serves as the primary sculptor of the mountain topography. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the environmental challenges and the untouched nature of this region during the early 21st century.
