2017 Map of Mount Saint Elias A-6 NE

About this map

Mt Cook dominates the high-altitude terrain of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park in this 2017 survey, where massive ice fields shape the landscape. This particular section of the Yakutat Borough is defined by the slow movement of the Marvine Glacier, Turner Glacier, and Valerie Glacier. The map meticulously tracks the international boundary line of the Canada United States of America border as it cuts through the glaciated peaks. The topography here is characterized by high-elevation ice and rock, with contour lines illustrating the steep relief surrounding these frozen river systems. The absence of roads or settlements underscores the protected, wilderness status of the national park, focusing instead on the precise delineation of township and range lines across a primarily glacial environment.
