2021 Map of Yakutat C-1 NW

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains terrain dominates this remote section of the Alaskan wilderness near the international border. The map focuses on a largely uninhabited landscape within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating the high-altitude topography of the region. The boundary between Canada and the United States cuts across the southwestern corner of the sheet, providing a precise record of the international line in relation to the local drainage and mountain spurs. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service documents the rugged peaks and glacial terrain as they existed in the early 21st century, offering a clear view of an area defined more by its natural scale and political boundaries than by human settlement.
