2017 Map of Yakutat C-2 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, characterized by massive ice fields and steep topographic relief. The map illustrates the glacial movement of the Novatak Glacier as it flows across the southeast corner and through the central valley, alongside the northern reaches of the Battle Glacier. These frozen rivers define the drainage patterns and landforms of the region, carving deep into the surrounding peaks. This 2017 study provides a detailed record of ice boundaries and elevations within the National Forest system, serving as a critical data point for understanding the physical state of the Yakutat City and Borough wilderness in the early 21st century.
