2017 Map of Yakutat C-4 NE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where steep maritime topography meets the glacial waters of the Pacific Northwest. The terrain is defined by high peaks and shifting ice, with Mt Ruhamah and Mt Pinta rising sharply from the eastern interior. Along the shoreline, Russell Fiord carves deep into the mainland, providing a protected waterway north of Shelter Cove. The presence of the Hidden Glacier in the northeastern reaches of the quadrangle illustrates the active glaciology of the Yakutat region, showing the extent of ice flow and drainage patterns during this 2017 survey. This map offers a detailed view of a remote wilderness where federal forest lands and glacial inlets intersect, serving as an essential record for coastal geography and environmental change.
