2023 Map of McCarthy C-5 NE

About this map

The Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the protected boundaries of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. This glacial environment is defined by massive ice flows, including the Nizina Glacier in the northwest and the Regal Glacier moving through the central peaks. The topography is exceptionally steep, rising toward landmarks such as Chimney Mtn in the northeast corner. This 2023 edition documents the modern extent of the ice and drainage patterns, showing how the West Fork Glacier and Gurkin Creek carve through the deep valleys of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. The map provides a critical record of these massive ice bodies and the surrounding high-alpine terrain as they existed in the early 21st century.
