2021 Map of Yakutat D-4 NE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Tongass National Forest meet in this high-altitude coastal landscape, where the massive ice fields of the Saint Elias Mountains dominate the interior. The map illustrates a transitional wilderness where the towering peaks of the range, including Mt Stamy, descend toward the Pacific coastline. This area is characterized by immense glacial activity, notably the southern reaches of Butler Glacier, which carves through the protected forest lands. The lack of roads or established settlements highlights the remote character of the Alaska-Yakutat City and Borough border, where the environment is defined entirely by the movement of ice and the sharp elevation changes of the coastal mountains.
