1959 Map of Yakutat B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Yakutat Foreland dominates this coastal survey, where the glacial outwash of the Tongass National Forest meets the sea. This landscape is defined by its massive braided river systems, including the Dangerous River, Ahrnklin River, and Italio River, which spill into the Gulf of Alaska through vast Tidal Flats. A barrier system formed by Blacksand Island and the long Blacksand Spit creates a complex network of lagoons and sloughs, such as Middle Slough, along the shoreline.
