2017 Map of Yakutat C-1 SE

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States of America cuts a sharp diagonal through this 2017 survey, where the remote northern landscape is defined by its administrative boundaries. Much of the southwestern portion of the sheet is protected within the Tongass National Forest, a territory characterized by significant elevation changes indicated by the dense contouring in the south. The map documents the intersection of the Yakutat Borough in Alaska with the British Columbia wilderness. While the northern and eastern portions of the map are relatively sparse in terms of named landmarks, the topography reveals a complex network of glacial or river-cut valleys and drainage patterns leading toward the coast, emphasizing the isolation and pristine nature of this subarctic frontier.
