2016 Map of Mount Hayes C-5 SW

About this map

The high alpine peaks of the Alaska Range dominate this interior Alaskan survey, where glacial movement and geological forces define the landscape. Massive ice fields including the Trident Glacier and the northern reaches of the Black Rapids Glacier fill the deep valleys between some of the region's most prominent summits. Elevated peaks such as Mt Moffit, Mt Shand, and McGinnis Peak provide the primary landmarks in a region devoid of permanent human settlements or infrastructure. The map illustrates the complex drainage patterns created by the McGinnis Glacier and its neighboring ice flows, offering a detailed view of the perpetual snowfields and sharp ridgelines that characterize this portion of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. The lack of roads or established trails underscores the wilderness character of these high-altitude townships during the early twenty-first century.
