2013 Map of Anchorage C-1 SW

About this map

Matanuska Glacier and Harvard Glacier dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Chugach Mountains as it appeared in 2013. This specialized survey focuses on the icy divide where these massive frozen rivers descend from the peaks, providing a record of glacial extent and elevation within the Chugach National Forest. The map detail is defined almost entirely by steep topographic contours and the movement of ice, with few human-made landmarks present. For researchers, this sheet captures the specific boundaries and surface features of the glaciers before more recent environmental shifts, mapping the transition between the Chugach Range and the ice fields that feed the surrounding river systems.
