2023 Map of McCarthy C-1 SE

About this map

The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of the United States of America, where the eastern edge of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park meets the Wrangell-St Elias Wilderness. This survey documents a complex glacial environment, centered around prominent peaks such as Mt Natazhat and Mt Riggs. Significant ice flows including Guerin Glacier, Natozhat Glacier, and Klutlan Glacier carve through the terrain, feeding drainage systems like Cub Creek and Traver Creek. The map provides precise 2023 coordinates for these moving ice masses, illustrating the modern state of one of the continent's most isolated mountain ranges. The intersection of Township and Range lines such as t3s r23e and t4s r24e provides a surveyor's framework over an otherwise trackless wilderness of rock and ice.
