2021 Map of Yakutat A-2 SW

About this map

The Gulf of Alaska dominates this coastal survey, where the open Pacific meets the northern edge of the Alaskan panhandle. The map reveals the dramatic meeting point of protected federal lands along a thin strip of shoreline, specifically where the Tongass National Forest borders the Glacier Bay National Preserve. Because the majority of this quadrangle covers the marine environment, it highlights the extreme coastal topography where the vast expanse of the gulf reaches the edge of these massive wilderness designations. This sheet is primarily a study of the maritime boundary and the remote northern reaches of the Alexander Archipelago, showing the intersection of t32s r40e and t32s r41e within the wilderness area.
