2017 Map of McCarthy D-6 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve dominate this section of the Alaskan wilderness. The landscape is defined by the massive Nabesna Glacier, which occupies the southeastern portion of the map. High-elevation contours reveal a complex glacial environment where the ice flow shapes the surrounding valley. This 2017 survey documents a largely unpopulated region, focusing on the boundary between the national park and preserve. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, with several prominent peaks rising above the glacier's edge. Because there are no roads or settlements, the map provides an essential record of the natural topography and the legal boundaries of these protected lands in the Valdez-Cordova Census Area.
