2023 Map of McCarthy B-2 SW

About this map

Klutlan Glacier flows through the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, part of a massive glacial system within the Saint Elias Mountains. This modern topographic study reveals the intricate drainage patterns and ice fields that define the intersection of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The map illustrates a strictly protected wilderness environment where the only markings are the township lines of the Copper River Meridian, such as t6s r21e. The southeastern portion of the sheet is designated as the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, a region where the elevation and ice cover create a terrain dominated by natural forces rather than human settlement or infrastructure.
