2023 Map of McCarthy D-7 NE

About this map

Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the massive Nabesna Glacier flows through the center of the quadrangle. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of the complex land management boundaries in this remote region, illustrating where the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness meets the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The map relies on 2009 SPOT imagery and National Elevation Dataset contours to delineate the steep glacial valleys and ice-covered peaks. This area is defined by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural topography of the glacial ice and its interaction with the mountain range.
