2023 Map of McCarthy B-3 NE

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains terrain dominates this high-altitude topographic study, where the massive ice field of the Russell Glacier carves through the protected landscapes of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The map documents a strictly wild environment characterized by the towering heights of the University Range and the prominent summit of Mt Bona in the southeast corner. Because this area is largely contained within the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, the survey shows no roads or permanent human settlements, focusing instead on the complex glacial hydrology and the administrative boundaries of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The elevation contours reveal the sheer verticality of this part of Alaska, where ice and rock define the geography.
