2017 Map of Yakutat D-8 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the shifting ice of the Malaspina Glacier and Agassiz Glacier dominates the environment. The 2017 survey details the complex glacial topography of the Yakutat region, revealing a vast network of ice fields and meltwater patterns within the T22S and T23S townships. This map provides a technical record of the frozen terrain near the coast before further environmental changes might alter the glacial margins. While devoid of permanent human settlements, the map illustrates the boundary lines of the national park as they cross these massive ice flows, serving as a critical reference for understanding the geography of one of the most remote protected areas in North America.
