2017 Map of Yakutat C-3 SW

About this map

Fourth Glacier and the massive Yakutat Glacier dominate this glacial landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a dynamic environment where ice and meltwater shape the terrain, visible in the drainage patterns of Moser Cr and Miller Cr as they flow from their respective ice fields. To the south, the Akwe River winds through the lower elevations, collecting runoff from the high peaks. Notable topographic landmarks such as Crescent Mtn and Slate Peak provide vertical relief against the expansive ice flows of Moser Glacier and Miller Glacier. This survey captures the complex intersection of alpine peaks and massive river-like glaciers in a wilderness area defined by its hydrology and high-latitude geomorphology.
