On Sunday Sept-11 we motored 53 miles southeast from Áak’w into T’aakú Aaní, exploring landforms from the water. In Avenza, we used a pair of geopdfs . One features bedrock geology, Lingít placenames & cultural sites, and glacial position lines at fiord-head. The other features a hillshade bathymetry.
This one covers the whole cruise. The other one covers bathymetric landforms and is zoomed in around S’awdáan
Geopdf #1 We mostly tracked and photolinked on this IfSAR hillshade that covered our entire route. Download 12MB pdf here. 
Geopdf #2 Seafloor landforms helped us understand glacial history—both Little Ice Age and much older. At the surface, they also explain a lot about whale and seabird concentrations. The second geopdf is zoomed in over the southern portion of our excursion. Download 5MB pdf here.
Grindstone town On the way down, where Séet ka, canyon strait (Gastineau Channel) meets T’aaḵú Kunaa G̱eeyí, glacier-bidding bay (Taku Inlet), we passed by the old village of T’aaḵú X̱ ‘aka.aan, town at mouth of Taku (Cherokee Beach). I’ve posted a scoping document on that village, which started when Liana Wallace sent me an extraordinary glass plate image of this little known town.
Scoping doc with resources Here’s an Excerpt package for the S’awdáan trip from my scoping document that has maps, historical images, info on place names, and a 2015 journal from the last time I went down to ‘dungie town.’ It was only partially complete prior to the cruise, but as of sept_13, ‘draft-2’ is pretty complete.
