1995 Map of McCarthy B-8

About this map

The Chitina River dominates this portion of the Alaskan interior, carving a broad valley between the heights of Nelson Mtn and the northern buttes. This 1995 planimetry study, based on topography compiled in 1950, documents a landscape largely defined by its preservation status within the Wrangell Saint Elias National Park and adjacent wilderness and preserve lands. The Mc Carthy Road provides the primary corridor for human passage through the region, skirting the northern edge of Chokosna Lake and crossing the Chokosna River. High-elevation landmarks like Gilahina Butte and Lost Butte stand as clear navigational points above numerous glacially-fed water bodies, including Billy Lake, Muskrat Lake, and Skull Lake. The map reveals a drainage network where the Hanagita River and Tebay River converge toward the main river valley, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Copper River basin.
