2017 Map of Yakutat B-2 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the high peaks of the Brabazon Range dictate the movement of massive ice fields. The map documents a glaciated wilderness defined by the Novatak Glacier in the northeast and the converging flows of the Chamberlain Glacier and Fassett Glacier to the southwest. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals the complex topography of these high-latitude corridors, where the ice defines the primary drainage patterns. The absence of human infrastructure highlights the scale of the natural terrain, with section lines and township boundaries like t28s r41e providing the only overlay of administrative order upon the ice and stone.
