2017 Map of Yakutat C-8 NE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates the northern landscape of this coastal quadrangle, where the massive Malaspina Glacier meets the edge of the continent. The terrain transitions from glacial ice and complex outwash plains down to the Sitkagi Bluffs, a prominent coastal feature overlooking the Gulf of Alaska. This remote stretch of the Alaska Yakutat Borough is defined by its lack of terrestrial infrastructure, instead relying on the maritime route indicated by the Whittier - Yakutat corridor. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of protected federal lands and the shifting glacial coastline as it appeared in the early 21st century.
