2023 Map of McCarthy A-8 SE

About this map

Hanagita Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in the heart of the Chugach Mountains. The 2023 survey documents a remote wilderness environment within the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness and the broader Wrangell Saint Elias National Park. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably through Twelvemile Canyon where the North Fork Bremner River flows. This drainage system is fed by several tributaries including Blackrock Creek, Lost Creek, and the Klu River. The map primarily serves as a record of natural topography and hydrography in a region devoid of permanent human settlements or infrastructure, illustrating the undisturbed character of these interior Alaskan ranges.
