1985 Map of Mount Saint Elias A-6

About this map

Mount Cook towers over a landscape dominated by massive ice flows and glacial action along the international border in the mid-1980s. This survey records the frozen expanse of the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park, where the Blossom Glacier and Hayden Glacier converge near the high-relief terrain of the Pinnacle Pass Hills. The cartography emphasizes the complex movement of ice, detailing the Moraine deposits left by receding fronts. Notable landmarks such as Blossom Island and the Floral Hills emerge from the ice, providing fixed points for navigators and glaciologists studying the shifting Marvine Glacier and Lucia Glacier. The boundary between the United States and Canada is clearly delineated across the high peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains.
