2017 Map of McCarthy D-6 SE

About this map

Nabesna Glacier dominates the southern reaches of this terrain, its slow passage carving through the high elevations of the Wrangell Mountains. This specific sector of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park is defined by extreme vertical relief, where steep ridgelines and deep glacial valleys remain largely untouched by infrastructure. The survey data reflects the pure physical geography of the Alaska wilderness, focusing on the intricate contour patterns and the flow of ice rather than human settlement. While the northern portion of the map covers the t1n r13e and t1n r14e townships, the landscape below centers on the massive ice field as it descends through t1s r13e and t1s r14e, showing the transition from peaks to frozen river.
