Glacier Bay National Park and the adjacent Glacier Bay National Preserve dominate this 2017 study of the Alaskan coast. The map centers on the dynamic environment of Alsek Lake, where the massive face of the Alsek Glacier meets the water. This glacial system creates a distinctive landscape of ice-carved terrain and shifting hydrology, including the flow of the Doame River and its connection to Lower Doame Lake to the south. The prominent Gateway Knob stands as a notable landmark on the western shore, overlooking the lake and the glacial terminus. The mapping of these federal lands, coordinated with agencies like the BLM and FWS, captures the coastal topography of the Yakutat City and Borough area, reflecting the natural progression of one of the world's most active glacial corridors.
