About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, where the high peaks of the Coast Mountains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Wrangell City and Borough. The map reveals a steep, glacially carved terrain defined by prominent elevations like Berg Mtn, which towers over the surrounding valleys. Water moves through the region via substantial drainages including Aaron Cr, Berg Cr, and Derns Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Southeast Alaska wilderness.

Human presence is sparse and largely limited to recreational or administrative access, most notably via the Berg Creek Trl that winds through the western portion of the sheet. The survey provides precise details on the Public Land Survey System divisions, such as t62s r86e and t63s r87e, which are essential for identifying land tracts within this remote forest environment. The mapping of these drainages and trails reflects the ongoing efforts of the Forest Service and USGS to document the shifting contours and routes of this mountainous interior.
