2017 Map of Yakutat D-5 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses much of this coastal landscape where glacial outwash and tidal waters meet. The terrain is defined by the braided channels of the Grand Wash River, which flows across a low-lying alluvial plain toward the expansive waters of Yakutat Bay. This environment is characterized by shifting sandbars and marshes, punctuated by landforms like Strawberry Island and the coastal marker of Blizhni Point. The map reflects the late twentieth and early twenty-first-century focus on conservation and environmental monitoring in this remote part of Alaska, where the natural movement of water and ice continually reshapes the shoreline.
