2021 Map of Yakutat D-4 SE

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains define the glaciated topography of this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the high peaks of Mt Unana and South Mtn overlook the icy waters of the Pacific. Most of the territory is protected within the Tongass National Forest, illustrating a wilderness largely untouched by permanent human settlement or road infrastructure. The mapping detail highlights the dramatic interface between the sea and the shore, specifically at Nunatak Fiord and the sheltered Seal Bay. These coastal features demonstrate the complex shoreline characteristic of the Yakutat region, providing a reference for changing tidewater glaciers and marine navigation in a remote environment where nature is the primary architect.
