2017 Map of McCarthy C-6 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the shifting ice of the Kennicott Glacier and Nabesna Glacier defines the topography. The map illustrates a transitional zone of ice and rock within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, featuring prominent summits such as Atna Peaks and Parka Peak. An unusual geological formation, Packsaddle Island, appears amidst the glacier, suggesting how terrain persists even as ice flows around it. This 2017 survey captures the glaciated character of the Unorganized Borough, showing the vast reach of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the environmental isolation of this protected wilderness.
