2016 Map of Mount Hayes A-6 NW

About this map

The Clearwater Mountains dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the drainage patterns of the West Fork Maclaren River and several glacial-fed creeks define the terrain. This 2016 U.S. Geological Survey representation reveals a wilderness shaped by heavy relief and seasonal water movement, marked by the prominent courses of Clearwater Creek and Little Clearwater Cr. The absence of developed roads or structures emphasizes the remote nature of this portion of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Map users can trace the hydrological connections between high ridges and valley floors, following the paths of Coal Cr and Pass Cr through the mountain passes. The map serves as a precise record of the natural topography and hydrologic features before any potential modern development, capturing the raw state of the interior before any human infrastructure was established.
