2017 Map of Yakutat C-1 SW

About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain, where the international boundary between Canada and the United States slices through some of the continent's most dramatic ice fields. The map documents the sprawling Tongass National Forest as it transitions from the Alaska Yakutat Borough across the border. Large ice masses like Battle Glacier and Novatak Glacier are shown in high relief, providing a precise record of glacial extent and flow patterns during the early twenty-first century. This survey is primarily a study of natural topography and remote administrative boundaries, showing a landscape defined by persistent ice and rock rather than human settlement or infrastructure.
