2023 Map of McCarthy A-2 NE

About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the sheer vertical relief is documented through a dense network of topographic contours. The map captures a transition of federal land management designations within a single quadrangle, showing the shared borders of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. This 2023 survey illustrates the protected status of the interior wilderness, providing a precise look at the township and range lines, including t7s r22e and t8s r21e, as they overlay the mountain peaks and drainage basins. With no roads or permanent settlements indicated, the focus remains entirely on the natural geography and the administrative boundaries that define this remote region.
