The Chugach Mountains dominate this 2017 survey, where glacial movement and ice fields define the high-altitude landscape. Located within the massive wilderness of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, the sheet documents the intricate contours of the Jefferies Glacier as it descends from the peaks, alongside the broad expanse of the Tana Glacier. To the south, the topographic data captures the vast Bagley Ice Valley, a critical corridor for glacial flow in this part of Alaska. This modern record provides a precise baseline for the ice extent and mountain geography of the Valdez-Cordova Census Area, serving researchers tracking glacial change and climbers navigating these remote summits.
