2023 Map of McCarthy C-1 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in eastern Alaska, captured in a recent 2023 survey. This portion of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-St Elias Wilderness preserves a pristine glacial environment where ice and rock define the geography. The presence of the massive Klutlan Glacier and the smaller Giffin Glacier provides a contemporary record of ice extent in this protected region. Away from the glacial flows, drainage patterns are established by features like Holmes Creek. The lack of man-made infrastructure or settlements underscores the extreme wilderness character of the terrain, making it an essential reference for studying modern glacial movement and the natural boundaries of the national park system.
