About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape within the Coast Mountains, where glacial activity and steep drainage systems define the geography. The presence of the Nelson Glacier in the northwest corner highlights the active cryosphere of this region, feeding into the complex network of waterways below. Deep valleys are carved by Aaron Cr and Berg Cr, which serve as primary corridors for movement through the dense terrain.

Accessibility is limited to primitive routes such as the Berg Creek Trail and Aaron Creek Trail, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors. These paths provide the only overland connection through the wilderness, passing beneath the prominence of Berg Mtn. The map also traces the lower reaches of Oerns Cr as it flows south, illustrating the drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the Wrangell City and Borough.
