2016 Map of Mount Hayes B-2 NW

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates this landscape, where high-altitude ice and glacial melt dictate the local geography. The Johnson Glacier sits in the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary source for the complex drainage patterns that feed into the broader valley system. Flowing through the center of the sheet, the Johnson River creates a wide, braided path across the terrain, a characteristic marker of the region's dynamic hydraulic environment. In the northern reaches, Elting Creek cuts through the high-elevation contours before descending toward the river valley. The map documents a wilderness shaped by active geological forces, with no human settlements or established infrastructure noted, leaving the focus entirely on the physical relationship between the mountain peaks and the moving ice and water of the interior.
