1985 Map of Yakutat D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Malaspina Glacier dominates this mid-1980s topographic study, showing a massive ice field as it appeared during the transition to federal management within the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park system. The map details a complex hydrologic network where glacial meltwater feeds into Malaspina Lake and numerous glacial streams, including Kwik Stream, Flora Stream, and Sudden Stream. Along the southern coastline, the survey identifies Schooner Beach fronting Yakutat Bay, providing a clear view of the relationship between high-altitude ice sheets and the Pacific shoreline. This era of mapping marks the formalization of land use boundaries, clearly delineating the Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness and Wrangell - Saint Elias National Preserve boundaries across the glacial moraine. Geologic markers such as the Hayden Glacier and the lonely Lucia Nunatak are carefully plotted, illustrating the shifting ice and rock of the Alaskan coast.
