About this map

Saint Elias Mountains terrain dominates this northern Alaskan interior landscape, where the massive Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness protects a vast expanse of glaciated peaks and high valleys. The topography is defined by the high ridges of the Granite Range in the north, where meltwater feeds the headwaters of Granite Creek. This environment is shaped by significant elevation changes, with contour lines illustrating the steep drainages and glacial valleys that characterize this portion of the Copper River Census Area. The absence of roads or settlements underscores the preserved state of this wilderness area, emphasizing its role as a corridor for natural processes within the larger Saint Elias system.
