2016 Map of Mount Hayes C-3 NW

About this map

Granite Mtn dominates this mountainous landscape in the Alaska Interior, serving as a focal point for a complex network of alpine drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the high-elevation crossing at Saint Anthony Pass, which separates the northern watersheds from the southern reaches of the quadrangle. In the southeast, the braided channels of the Gerstle River cut through the landscape, while numerous smaller streams like McCumber Cr, Bradford Cr, and Granite Cr carve out a series of steep valleys. These waterways, including Old Channel Cr and July Creek, illustrate the natural drainage patterns of the Alaska Range before they reach the lower basins. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range survey lines—such as t14s r12e and t15s r13e—imposed upon this roadless wilderness.
