While I never expected I would put so much work in to the Chugach mountains, it does look very nice I believe. But I have to think about where I want to end it or what’s a good place to take a break.
Capturing the biome-like areas from woods to shrubs to heath to scree to bare rock, it’s a bit of a approximation when there are hybrid areas. I’ve browsed different mountain areas around the globe but it’s not clear who else is thinking of capturing all these together.
My first priority is to finish the Eagle River valley and valley in north west Girdwood valley where they follow the Crow Pass trail.
My second priority is to finish up the area around penguin creek and then the missing middle section.
Then, I think I should map the Baldy area in Eagle River from the top to heath and shrubs.
And finally, when I can finish the Peters Creek and Eklutna valleys, I’ll think I’ll feel like I can put a wrap on it.

The area of Tierra del Fuego near Ushuaia has seen a similar amount of attention, and I think Bird Island in South Georgia (although I’m distinctly uncertain about the value of natural=grassland for tussac : take a look at the aerial images).

Thanks SK53, I’ll dig into those regions to see what tips I can learn from them.

Looks phenomenal! I’ve done some work mapping Mount Rainier National Park, so I know the pain of assigning natural types in those hybrid areas.

This looks really good!
