2017 Map of Yakutat A-1 SW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park and the adjacent Glacier Bay National Preserve dominate this coastal landscape where the Alaskan wilderness meets the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is defined by the braided drainage of the Doame River and its tributary, the S Fork Doame River, which cut through low-lying wetlands before reaching the Pacific. The Ranney Route provides a rare point of overland passage through this remote section of the Yakutat Borough. Situated along the Yakutat - Juneau boundary, the map captures a dynamic glacial outwash environment characterized by shifting watercourses and dense marshland, reflecting the complex ecological transition between protected federal lands and the open sea.
