2023 Map of McCarthy B-3 SE

About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-altitude terrain, showcasing a landscape of extreme verticality and glacial landforms. The map identifies major topographic landmarks within the University Range, including the prominent Univ Peak and Aello Peak, alongside the evocatively named The Twaharpies. This area sits at a massive intersection of protected lands, where the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park meets the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve and the dedicated Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. The presence of these specific peaks and ranges highlights the surveying work required to map one of the most remote and high-relief corners of the American wilderness, providing a precise record of these named summits in the early 21st century.
