1985 Map of Mount Saint Elias A-7

About this map

The Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park dominates this landscape where the international border meets the massive ice flows of southern Alaska. In the mid-1980s, this region remained a wilderness of shifting ice and high ridges, defined by the convergence of the Malaspina Glacier and the Agassiz Glacier. The map details the complex glacial architecture of the Seward Glacier and the Augusta Glacier, which carve through the high terrain near Mount Owen. Within the Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness, topographic features like Point Glorious and the Samovar Hills emerge from the ice, while Pinnacle Pass and the Pinnacle Pass Hills mark the eastern reaches near the Yukon Territory line. This survey captures the vastness of the Hitchcock Glacier and Cascade Glacier during an era of significant glaciological study.
