1959 Map of McCarthy B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Mount Bona and Mount Churchill dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where ice and rock define the topography. The 1959 field survey documents a world of permanent snowfields and massive glacial systems, most notably the sprawling Klutlan Glacier and the Barnard Glacier at the southern edge. The map highlights the intersection of federally protected lands, including the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, the Wrangell-Saint Elias Wilderness, and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. Topographic contours reveal the extreme elevation changes between peaks and valleys, while numerous crevasses are explicitly marked across the glacial surfaces, indicating the dynamic and hazardous nature of the ice at the time of the photogrammetric mapping in 1957.
