2017 Map of McCarthy B-5 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Nizina River valley forms a dramatic central corridor through this section of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, where glacial waters converge from several major tributaries. The confluence of the Chitistone River and the Nizina creates a complex braided river system, punctuated by landmarks such as Squaw Island and Spruce Point. This terrain, dominated by the eastern reaches of the Wrangell Mountains, reflects a landscape shaped by significant relief and water drainage, with steep elevations rising toward Chitistone Mtn and Nikolai Pass.
