2017 Map of Tyonek B-6 SW

About this map

Mt Spurr dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Tordrillo Mountains, providing a detailed view of active volcanic and glacial systems. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of Crater Peak and the surrounding ice fields, including Crater Glacier to the south and the sprawling Capps Glacier in the northeast. Of particular interest to those studying indigenous place names is the dual labeling of Chatanalch’elt Li’a, appearing alongside the larger glacial systems. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the complex ice and rock formations of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, including distinctive ridges like The Rowel. The map focuses entirely on the natural environment, showing a region devoid of human structures or roads, where the shifting margins of glaciers and high peaks are the only landmarks.
