2021 Map of Yakutat C-1 SW

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains terrain dominates this high-latitude survey, where the glacial landscape of the Tongass National Forest meets the international boundary between Canada and the United States of America. The map documents a powerful ice-carved environment, most notably the massive flow of Battle Glacier and the expansive Novatak Glacier. These frozen features are the primary architects of the topography, illustrating the dynamic natural forces that continue to shape the remote Alaskan wilderness near the border of British Columbia. This 2021 edition provides a contemporary record of ice extent and mountain drainage in a region where the natural environment is the defining characteristic of the landscape.
