2017 Map of McCarthy C-1 NE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve dominate this high-latitude landscape, where the braided channels of the White River sweep across the northern extent. The map captures a remote borderland where the Alaska Valdez-Cordova Census Area meets the international boundary of the United States of America / Canada. This 2017 survey details a wilderness primarily defined by its hydrography, with significant drainage systems including Kletsan Creek in the east and Traver Creek and its Dry Fork at the center. The lack of established roads or structures emphasizes the isolation of this interior region, providing an essential record for those studying the unmodified natural geography of the Alaskan frontier.
