2017 Map of Yakutat B-4 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this landscape of the Alaska Panhandle, characterized by the complex drainage patterns of the Ahrnklin River and the Dangerous River. The terrain is a labyrinth of wetlands and watercourses, reflecting the dynamic glacial and fluvial environment near Yakutat. A single primary transportation route, the Yak-Road To Dangerous River, cuts diagonally across the northern portion of the map, providing rare overland access through the dense coastal forest and marshlands. This 2017 survey illustrates the intricate braided nature of the river systems as they move toward the Gulf of Alaska, showing how the shifting waters of the Dangerous River carve through the protected lands of the Tnf.
