2017 Map of Yakutat D-7 SE

About this map

Malaspina Glacier dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its presence defining the hydrography and topography of the coastal Alaskan wilderness. The ice field transitions into a complex network of wetlands and drainage patterns as it nears the coast, feeding into Malaspina Lake and the winding Manby Stream. This 2017 survey details the intersection of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, illustrating a terrain defined by glacial movement rather than human settlement. The absence of roads or structures highlights the remote nature of this protected corridor, where the natural forces of the ice and tidal influence shape the land.
