2017 Map of McCarthy A-6 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the southern reaches of the Chugach Mountains dominate the horizon. In this 2017 study, the glacial and fluvial drainage patterns are clearly defined by the southward-flowing Chakina River along the western edge and Granitic Cr to the east. The terrain is defined by steep elevation changes, rising from the river valleys to sharp ridgelines, with Jacobson Gulch marking a significant break in the eastern slopes. The map provides a precise look at the land survey system for this wilderness area, including the intersection of t9s r13e and t10s r14e, illustrating how administrative grids overlay the natural topography of the Alaskan interior.
