2017 Map of Yakutat B-1 NW

About this map

Glacier Bay National Park and the Tongass National Forest meet in this remote coastal Alaska landscape, where massive ice fields and braided river systems define the terrain. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Novatak Glacier, its immense reach carved into the mountainside. To the south, the Alsek River cuts through the lowlands, creating a complex network of glacial meltwater channels and wetlands. This 2017 survey illustrates the dynamic intersection of these protected federal lands, showing the transition from high-altitude ice to the river delta. The absence of roads or settlements underscores the wilderness character of the region, emphasizing the natural boundaries established by the t29s r43e and surrounding township lines within the Yakutat City and Borough.
