2017 Map of McCarthy C-6 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
McCarthy sits at the southwestern edge of this 2017 survey, serving as a gateway to the high-altitude landscape of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The geography is defined by the massive slow-moving ice of the Kennicott Glacier and Root Glacier, which carve through the terrain surrounding Donoho Peak. This modern topographic study details the drainage systems that feed these icy giants, including Amazon Cr and Jumbo Cr flowing through Amazon Gulch in the southeast, and Fourth of July Cr in the southwest. The map provides a precise view of the interface between established settlement and some of the most prominent glacial features in the region, illustrating how the natural topography dictates the limits of human expansion in this part of the Unorganized Borough.
