2017 Map of McCarthy C-6 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where massive ice fields shape the topography of the Wrangell Mountains. The glacial movement here is a dominant force, visible through the expansive Nabesna Glacier in the north and the Root Glacier and Kennicott Glacier in the south. The convergence of these ice flows creates a dynamic environment of moraines and high ridges, punctuated by the W Fork Glacier to the east. This 2017 survey documents the precise contours of the ice and rock during a period of modern glacial study. The map serves as a detailed record of wilderness boundaries and hydrography, showing how the massive frozen rivers interact with the land near the headwaters of major drainage systems.
