2021 Map of Yakutat B-3 NE

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains rise sharply across this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the Brabazon Range dictates the flow of glacial runoff and river systems within the Tongass National Forest. The northern reach of the map is dominated by the expansive Harlequin Lake, which feeds into the aptly named Dangerous River as it moves toward the coast. To the south, the hydrologic network is defined by the Italio River and Italio Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this wilderness. This 2021 survey provides a clear look at the glacial and fluvial geomorphology of the region, showing how ice and water continuously reshape the terrain between the high peaks and the unseen shoreline.
