About this map

Glacier Bay National Preserve dominates this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the interaction between glacial runoff and the sea is evident. The drainage systems of the East Alsek River and the Doame River carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Yakutat Borough. Transportation across this wilderness is marked by an intricate network of paths, including the Dog Salmon Cutoff Trail, Bear Island Trail, and Schumacher Trail. These routes, alongside the Maze Central Route and Maze W Route, suggest a history of seasonal access or resource management within the preserve. The proximity to the Gulf of Alaska coastline emphasizes the maritime influence on the region's geography. Researchers can trace specific access points like the E Mouth Route and E Access Trail, providing insight into the backcountry navigation used during the early 21st century.
