2021 Map of Yakutat C-4 NW

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains define the northern reaches of this coastal landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a transition from the high peaks of Mt Tebenkof and Mt Mallott down to the intricate shoreline of Eleanor Cove and Chicago Harbor. This coastal interface is marked by tidal features like New Reefs and the sheltered waters of Ensenada de Esperanza. Inland, the drainage systems of Situk Lake and the meandering Situk River dominate the southern lowlands, providing a clear view of the hydrological patterns of the Yakutat City and Borough. Connectivity through this wilderness is traced by the Situk Lake Trl and Mountain Lake Trl, while the western boundary is noted by the West Gate label. These trails and water bodies, including Lake Redfield, illustrate the geography of a region shaped by both glacial runoff and the Pacific tide.
