2017 Map of Yakutat B-2 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Tanis Mesa and the expansive glacial systems of the southeastern Alaska coast define this landscape within the Tongass National Forest and Glacier Bay National Park. The map records a complex hydrological environment where massive ice bodies like Novatak Glacier, Martin Glacier, and Chamberlain Glacier feed into the low-lying basin of Tanis Lake. The presence of the Tanis Mesa Airport near the mouth of the Tanis River indicates the critical role of bush aviation in accessing this roadless wilderness. This survey captures the precise positioning of terminal moraines and drainage patterns, such as Gines Cr and Emile Cr, providing a baseline for studying the shifting ice margins in this protected coastal corridor.
