2017 Map of McCarthy C-5 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
McCarthy sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, where the confluence of several glacial streams defines the local geography. The map documents the boundary transition between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, a region deeply shaped by historical mining activity and glacial movement. Large-scale topographic features such as Bonanza Ridge and Bonanza Peak loom over the drainage basins of Amazon Cr and Jumbo Cr. The presence of Root Glacier in the northwest corner highlights the persistent glacial environment that continues to carve this terrain. Waterways like McCarthy Creek and its various tributaries, including Dimond Cr and Lubbock Cr, flow through steep valleys, illustrating the complex hydrography of this interior Alaskan wilderness near the Wrangell Mountains.
