1985 Map of Yakutat D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The massive ice fields of the Malaspina Glacier dominate this coastal Alaskan landscape, where the glacial ice meets the rugged waters of the Gulf of Alaska. Compiled from aerial photography taken in the early 1970s, the map reveals a complex system of Moraine formations along the southern edge of the glacier, indicating the shifting boundaries of the ice sheet during this era. Most of the territory shown is protected as part of the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park and the dedicated Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness. The note indicating that the Boundary Follows Shoreline highlights the dynamic nature of this environment, where the tide-water glacier and the sea are in constant contact, unmarred by roads or permanent human settlements.
