2023 Map of McCarthy A-6 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The confluence of the Chitina River and the Tana River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, where the braided river channels create an ever-shifting drainage system. This 2023 survey documents a remote section of the Copper River Census Area, characterized by the intersection of three distinct federal land designations: the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, and the protected Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. Beyond the waterways, the topography is marked by Louise Lake and the small Jakes Bar Airport strip, which serves as a vital access point for this roadless wilderness. The map provides a precise contemporary record of the shifting silt bars and glacial runoff patterns inherent to this high-latitude river environment.
