2023 Map of McCarthy B-1 NW

About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in eastern Alaska, where the vast ice of the Klutlan Glacier flows through the central terrain. This 2023 survey documents the glacial topography and immense relief within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the preserved Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. The map reveals the intricate network of ridgelines and drainage patterns that define this section of the Copper River Census Area, illustrating how the ice mass interacts with the surrounding peaks. Without any roads or human settlements indicated, the map focuses on the raw natural boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, including sections of t5s r23e and t5s r22e, providing a precise look at the glaciated interior of one of North America's most formidable mountain ranges.
