2021 Map of Yakutat D-2 NW

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains dominate the high-elevation landscape of this remote corner of Alaska, where the international boundary between Canada and the United States cuts across the steep alpine terrain. The map focuses on a largely uninhabited and unroaded portion of the Tongass National Forest, centered around the slopes of Mt Armour. This 2021 survey serves as a modern topographical record of the glaciated peaks and ridgelines that define the frontier, highlighting the extreme topography and ice-fields characteristic of the northern Pacific coast ranges. The boundary line follows the natural crests and survey points, separating the Alaskan wilderness from British Columbia, with no evidence of human development or infrastructure within the immediate vicinity of these peaks.
