2024 Map of Bradfield Canal B-5 NW

About this map

The Harding River winds through this steep portion of Wrangell, Alaska, illustrating the high-relief topography characteristic of the state's southeastern panhandle. As a 2024 survey, this document records the contemporary state of the glaciated terrain and drainage patterns within the Tongass National Forest area. The landscape is dominated by sharp contour intervals that indicate vertical relief of several thousand feet within very short horizontal distances. The map area is primarily defined by its physical geography and federal land divisions, including townships t62s r88e, t62s r89e, t63s r88e, and t63s r89e. Without roads or developed settlements, the focus remains on the hydrography and the natural flow of the river through the deep valleys of the coastal range.
