2023 Map of McCarthy D-5 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, a region defined by its immense ice fields and the complex intersections of federal land designations. This 2023 survey delineates the borders where the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve meets the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, highlighting the vast, roadless reaches of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. Large-scale glacial movement is documented through the presence of the Chisana Glacier in the east and the Nizina Glacier to the south, while the Nabesna River originates in the northwestern corner. The map provides a critical modern baseline for the physical geography of one of the most protected and least-developed mountain ranges in North America.
