About this map

The Coast Mountains dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where steep ridges and deep valleys define the southeastern interior. Located within the Tongass National Forest, the region is characterized by immense elevation changes, with the Wrangell Borough Ketchikan Gateway Borough boundary winding through the heart of the terrain. The area serves as a primary example of the wild, roadless expanse of the panhandle during the early twenty-first century. This survey documents the complex topography of the Wrangell vicinity, focusing on the natural contours of the mountain range rather than human settlement. The map provides precise elevation data for the peaks and drainages that mark this remote section of the national forest, offering a clear record of the glacial and mountain terrain as it appeared before more recent environmental shifts.
