2017 Map of McCarthy A-8 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the majority of this Alaskan wilderness, defined by steep elevational gradients and an intricate network of alpine drainage. The northern reaches are bounded by the Hanagita River, while the central and southern valleys are carved by Sangaina Cr and the multiple branches of Lake Cr. This topographic study reveals a landscape dominated by natural water systems and high ridges, notably devoid of permanent human settlements or road infrastructure during the 2017 survey. The layout of the township and range lines, such as t7s r8e and t8s r9e, provides the primary structural grid for this protected federal land, illustrating the vast scale of the park's interior.
