2021 Map of Yakutat D-3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains define the glaciated landscape of this remote coastal region within the Tongass National Forest. The topography is dominated by the dramatic intersection of land and ice, where the massive West Nunatak Glacier and Cascading Glacier flow toward the waters of Nunatak Fiord. These glacial systems carve through high peaks such as Mt Draper and The Nunatak, creating a complex network of ice-filled valleys and steep ridges. The map illustrates the contemporary state of these glaciers and their relationship to the shoreline at Punta Cascales. The presence of features like Hanging Glacier indicates the high-elevation origins of the ice sheets that continue to shape the geography of the Yakutat City and Borough. This survey captures a dynamic environment of shifting ice and rising summits along the Gulf of Alaska coast.
