2017 Map of Yakutat B-3 NE

About this map

The Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the southern reaches of the Brabazon Range meet the glacial waters of the Gulf coast. In this 2017 survey, the massive ice of the Chamberlain Glacier is visible in the southeastern corner, feeding the hydrological network that defines the region's topography. The map illustrates a dynamic glacial environment, featuring the expansive Harlequin Lake in the north and the lower course of the Italio River as it passes through Italio Lake in the southwest. This area, largely devoid of permanent human settlements, showcases the pure interaction between high-altitude ice fields and the coastal drainage systems characteristic of the Yakutat City and Borough region.
