2017 Map of Yakutat D-3 SE

About this map

Hanging Glacier and the expansive East Nunatak Glacier dominate this glaciated Alaskan landscape within the Tongass National Forest. The topography is defined by massive ice fields and the West Nunatak Glacier, which push toward the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. This 2017 survey shows the complex relationship between the high coastal mountains and the sea, illustrating the paths of glacial movement across the public land survey grid. The inclusion of the Gulf of Alaska on the western edge provides a vital reference point for the maritime boundary of this remote wilderness area, where ice and elevation create a nearly inaccessible environment.
