About this map

Mount Hayes anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Alaska Range, where ice and geology dominate the topographic character. The extensive Hayes Glacier and Susitna Glacier are central to the drainage patterns of the region, punctuated by numerous crevasses and ridges. Named peaks such as Mount Giddings, Mount Skarland, Mount Geist, and Aurora Peak define the high terrain.

In the northeast, the map indicates the proximity of military operations with the Fort Greely Mil Res Approx Bdy, marking a point where administrative boundaries meet the wilderness. Headwaters including the Little Delta River, Whistler Creek, and Hayes Creek flow from the glacial mass, illustrating the seasonal transition of ice to water that has shaped this interior Alaska environment since its 1951 field annotation.
