2016 Map of Mount Hayes B-6 NE

About this map

High peaks of the Alaska Range dominate this interior landscape, which captures a high-elevation glacial environment where three massive ice fields converge. The Susitna Glacier flows from the northwest, while the Black Rapids Glacier and Maclaren Glacier carve through the deep valleys of the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. The map documents the boundary between the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area Matanuska-Susitna Borough, illustrating how these administrative lines cut across some of the most formidable terrain in the subarctic. Surveyed in the early twenty-first century, this record shows the complex topography of the range before the influence of shifting modern climate patterns further altered these ice masses and their runoff channels.
