1994 Map of McCarthy A-4

About this map

The Chitina River flows broadly through the center of this terrain, serving as a primary corridor through the Wrangell-Saint Elias landscape. To the north, the elevation rises sharply toward Mac Coll Ridge, where several small Cabins and a remote Landing Strip indicate the sparse human presence and the importance of bush aviation in the region. The map highlights the complex boundaries between the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Preserve and the more restrictive Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness. Glacial and fluvial activity is evident in the numerous drainages such as Calamity Gulch and Kiagna River, which define the topography south of the main river. Remote features like Bear Island and Big Bend Lakes provide specific landmarks for those navigating this interior territory during the late twentieth century.
