2017 Map of McCarthy C-5 NE

About this map

Nizina Glacier and Regal Glacier dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The topography is defined by the massive ice fields and drainage systems of the Wrangell Mountains, where the W Fork Glacier and Gurkin Cr mark the deep glacial valleys. This 2017 survey captures the ice-locked terrain of the Alaska-Valdez-Cordova Census Area, showing the relationship between the permanent snowfields and prominent peaks like Chimney Mtn. The map provides a precise look at the Public Land Survey System grid as it overlays these protected lands, illustrating the vast, unpopulated reaches of the park's interior where natural features are the primary landmarks.
