2017 Map of Yakutat C-4 SE

About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this coastal landscape where the waters of Russell Fiord meet the rugged shoreline at Cape Stoss. In 2017, the area remained largely defined by its intricate drainage systems, characterized by unique local names like Match Stick, Mickey, and Lower 3-Fish. This survey documents a critical intersection of marine and freshwater environments, where Seal Creek and E Seal Creek flow through the lowlands south of the primary forest tracts. Human activity is evidenced primarily by the Yak. Road to Dangerous River, which provides a singular land-based route through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map serves as a detailed record of the shifting watercourses and wetlands north of the Gulf of Alaska, showing the drainage of Beasley Cr and the complex network of the 3-Fish Creek system.
