1959 Map of Mt Saint Elias

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mt St Elias and the surrounding high peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains dominate this mid-century survey, which records the immense glacial systems along the border of Alaska and Canada. The map documents the shifting ice of the Hubbard Glacier, Marvine Glacier, and the Kaskawulsh Glacier, with purple screening indicating areas of glacial advance or recession noted during revisions. The terrain spans from the coastal waters of Enchanted Bay to the interior reaches of Kluane Lake and the Alaska Highway. This area, much of it now protected within Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Wilderness, is characterized by massive ice fields and nunataks like Moore Nunatak. The cartography captures a landscape of extreme elevation, featuring international summits such as Mt Hubbard, Mt Alverstone, and Mt Kennedy.
