2016 Map of Mount Hayes C-6 SE

About this map

Mt Hayes and the high peaks of the Alaska Range dominate this 2016 survey, a landscape defined by massive ice fields and steep elevation changes. The quadrangle is characterized by a network of significant ice flows, including the Hayes Glacier in the north and the Trident Glacier and Susitna Glacier across the central section. To the south, the Black Rapids Glacier descends from the slopes of Aurora Peak. These features represent the dynamic glacial environment typical of this high-altitude region, where ice movement continues to shape the underlying terrain. Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map provides an exacting look at the physical geography of this unpopulated stretch of the interior, recording the footprint of these glaciers at a specific moment in the early 21st century.
