2017 Map of McCarthy D-1 NE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses a vast portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by the high elevations of the Nutzotin Mountains. The topography is defined by a dense network of high-altitude drainages, including Ptarmigan Creek, Beaver Cr, and Rocker Creek, which carve through the steep terrain. This 2017 survey captures a remote wilderness at the international border between the United States and Canada, where the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area meets the Valdez-Cordova Census Area. The map reveals a land without road infrastructure, where the primary geographic features are the names of the watercourses like Francis Cr and the complex contour lines of the mountain range.
