2017 Map of McCarthy B-1 SW

About this map

Barnard Glacier dominates the high-elevation landscape of this 2017 survey, carving through the central terrain of the Chugach and Saint Elias mountains. This remote corner of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve is defined by extreme relief, where steep ridgelines and glacial valleys meet at the boundary of Township 6 South and Township 7 South. The map provides a precise look at the glaciated drainage patterns and topography in an area largely untouched by permanent settlement or infrastructure, reflecting the preserved wilderness character of the Alaska-Yukon border region in the early 21st century.
