2017 Map of Mount Saint Elias A-7 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates this landscape, showing a vast wilderness of ice and high-altitude terrain in southeastern Alaska. The map traces the shifting margins of the Malaspina Glacier, which flows along the western and southern edges of the quadrangle, and the Marvine Glacier to the east. These massive ice fields surround the Hitchcock Hills, a prominent topographic feature rising between the glacial flows. The survey provides precise contour data for the steep elevations and glacial basins, documenting the environmental state of this protected region at a time of modern satellite-assisted mapping. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the primitive state of this coastal mountain range, where the movement of ice remains the primary force of geographic change.
