2021 Map of Yakutat B-2 NE

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains rise dramatically across this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Brabazon Range dictates the movement of massive ice fields. The map documents a glaciated environment within the Tongass National Forest, characterized by the presence of three distinct ice bodies. The Novatna Glacier flows through the northern reaches, while the Fassett Glacier and Chamberlin Glacier dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2021 survey illustrates the complex relationship between high-altitude topography and the persistent glaciers that define this region of the Yakutat City and Borough. The sparse human presence is reflected in the lack of named settlements, focusing instead on the physical geographic boundaries and the towering natural features of the Alaskan wilderness.
