2017 Map of Mount Saint Elias B-7 SW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates the southeastern quadrant of this map, representing a portion of the vast glacial and mountainous landscape within Yakutat Borough. The topography is defined by the high peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains, where steep contour lines lead to the summit of Mt Augusta on the international boundary between Alaska and Canada. This high-altitude terrain transitions into the icy expanse of the Malaspina Glacier at lower elevations. The survey illustrates the complex border geometry where the United States of America meets Yukon Territory, a region defined more by its massive ice fields and vertical relief than by human settlement. The absence of roads or structures highlights the wilderness character of the region, where only the PLSS grid lines of t19s r28e and t19s r29e provide a human-defined reference for this remote alpine environment.
