2017 Map of McCarthy A-4 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Chitina River flows through a massive glacial valley in this section of the Alaskan wilderness, where the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve transitions into the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The landscape is defined by the stark descent from the peaks of the Granite Range into the broad, braided riverbeds below. The Kiagna River and its tributaries, including the E Fork Kiagna River and Bearhole Cr, carve deep paths through the high-elevation terrain to reach the Chitina. Notable landmarks like Bear Island stand as isolated high ground within the river's wide floodplain, illustrating the dynamic hydrology of the region before it enters the narrow passage near Canyon Creek.
