2017 Map of Yakutat D-6 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve dominate this coastal landscape where the Alaskan wilderness meets the Pacific. The terrain is defined by complex hydrological systems, including the large expanse of Malaspina Lake and the braided channels of the Grand Wash River. To the south, the shoreline opens into the vast waters of Yakutat Bay, fed by glacial runoff through Sudden Stream and Kame Stream. The presence of Strawberry Island near the eastern margin suggests a shifting coastal morphology characteristic of this glaciated region. This survey captures a remote wilderness area focused on natural preservation and the dynamic interface between freshwater glacial output and the sea, providing a detailed look at the township and range lines across this protected territory.
