Russell Fiord dominates this coastal landscape, where glacial waters meet the heavily forested shores of the Tongass National Forest. The map documents a rugged interface of ice and timber, specifically tracing the Russell Fiord Wilderness Boundary through terrain shaped by the Fourth Glacier and drained by Beasley Creek. South of the fjord, the Yakutat Foreland represents a shift toward more accessible ground, marked by the presence of Gravel Pits and the trace of the Alsek Road. This 1987 provisional survey captures the region's wilderness character just as modern land designations were being codified, providing a precise look at topographic markers like Cape Stoss and the intricate tidal flats where the ice-melt enters the sea.
