2017 Map of Yakutat D-4 NW

About this map

Hubbard Glacier and Variegated Glacier dominate the northern margins of this coastal Alaska landscape, where ice meets the tides of Disenchantment Bay. The map documents a significant intersection of protected lands, showing the boundary between Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the Tongass National Forest. The geography is defined by the long, deep reach of Russell Fiord, which is pinched by Gilbert Point and Osier Island at its northern mouth. High alpine features like Mt Alexander and the Alexander Glacier rise sharply from the eastern shore, illustrating the dramatic vertical relief typical of the region. Coastal landmarks such as Marble Point and the outflow of Calahonda Creek provide specific points of reference along the waterline in this largely untracked wilderness.
