About this map

The Kiagna River carves through the heart of this Alaskan interior landscape, flowing between the peaks of the Granite Range and Baldy Mountain. This 1984 provisional survey illustrates the high-elevation terrain within the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness, areas designated to preserve the vast glacial systems and alpine ecosystems of the region.

Surface water features such as Slender Lake and drainage networks including Martin Creek and Twelvemile Creek define the hydrologic patterns of this unpopulated wilderness. The map provides precise topographic detail for mountaineers and geologists studying the remote Chugach and Saint Elias mountains during the late twentieth century, capturing the area before significant modern glacial retreat was widely documented.
