2017 Map of Yakutat D-3 NW

About this map

Mt Jette stands as a prominent high point along the international border in this remote northern landscape, where the Alaska Yakutat Borough meets the Canadian frontier. The terrain is defined by massive ice fields and active glacial systems, including the extensive Variegated Glacier in the northwest and the Butler Glacier further south. These frozen rivers carve deep through the mountainous topography of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Tongass National Forest. This 2017 survey captures the high-altitude wilderness before it descends toward the coastal reaches, showing the intricate contouring of the Saint Elias Mountains and the isolated peak of Orange Glacier.
