2017 Map of Mount Saint Elias A-8 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

The Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park protects a high-altitude landscape dominated by massive ice fields and the Saint Elias Mountains. This topographic record illustrates the intricate glacial systems that define the region, most notably the Agassiz Glacier as it moves through the southern reaches of the range. The interaction between ice and water is evident at the base of these frozen flows, where the Agassiz Lakes collect meltwater in a dynamic environment of shifting moraines and ice margins. Other significant ice bodies, including the Tyndall Glacier and Libbey Glacier, carve through the terrain, showing the sheer scale of the hydrographic features in this part of Yakutat. The lack of human infrastructure or roads emphasizes the preserve's character as a strictly natural domain defined by geological and glacial processes.
