About this map

Russell Fiord carves into the Alaskan coastline on this sheet, defining a landscape where the Saint Elias Mountains meet the sea. This high-altitude coastal region is entirely contained within the Tongass National Forest, showcasing a transition from the marine environment of Shelter Cove to the steep peaks of Mt Ruhamah and Mt Pinta. The map documents a wilderness primarily defined by glacial geology and protected forest lands, with no established roads or settlements present in this specific sector. Instead, the focus remains on the dramatic elevation changes and the intricate shoreline of the fjord, providing a detailed record of this remote terrain in the early twenty-first century.
