2021 Map of Yakutat C-1 SE

About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain, where the United States-Canada boundary bisects a wilderness of glacial remnants and steep drainage patterns. This 2021 survey illustrates the northwestern edge of the Tongass National Forest, a region defined more by its massive physical landforms and international border than by human infrastructure. The scarcity of named landmarks underscores the remote nature of this corner of Alaska, where topographic contours trace the slow movement of ice and the erosion of ancient peaks. For researchers of the northern frontier, this sheet provides a precise accounting of the international line as it traverses the high peaks and valleys of the coast range.
