About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where massive ice fields meet the sea. The northern reaches of the map are defined by the White River Glacier and Lare Glacier, which feed into a complex hydrological network. Notable peaks like Mt McPherson rise above the glacial valleys, providing significant topographical landmarks for the region.

As the ice melts into the lowlands, numerous drainages such as Johnston Creek, Davis Cr, and Lydick Cr cut through the terrain. These waterways, including the winding Little River, eventually discharge into the Gulf of Alaska. The map captures the interface between alpine glacial systems and the tidal environment, offering a clear record of the area's natural drainage and coastal boundaries in the early 21st century.
