2021 Map of Yakutat B-2 NW

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains terrain dominates this 2021 topographic record of the remote Alaskan wilderness within Tongass National Forest. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Brabazon Range and the prominent peak of Mt Redburn, where dramatic vertical relief shapes the drainage patterns of the region. The presence of the Chamberlain Glacier in the southeast corner provides a contemporary benchmark for glacial extent, feeding into the complex braided hydrology of the Dangerous River. This survey captures a workspace for geologists and glaciologists studying the active geomorphology of the Yakutat City and Borough, documenting the exact contours of ice and rock in an area largely devoid of human infrastructure.
