2013 Map of Anchorage B-1 SW

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses the entirety of this high-altitude landscape, which is dominated by massive ice fields and high peaks. The topography is defined by the convergence of several major ice flows, including the Harvard Glacier and Yale Glacier in the northern reaches, while the southern portions are marked by the Meares Glacier and the expansive Columbia Glacier. These glacial systems carve through the terrain between prominent summits such as Mount Cardozo, Aspero Peak, and Mount Michelson. The 2013 survey provides a clear view of the state of these glaciers and their relationship to the steep, uninhabited mountain ridges of the Unorganized Borough. The map serves as a vital record of the shifting ice and drainage patterns within this protected wilderness area.
