About this map

Tongass National Forest dominates this Alaskan landscape, showcasing a complex network of glacial valleys and alpine water bodies within the Wrangell City and Borough. The Harding River carves a significant path through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, fed by numerous high-altitude streams and surrounding summits. This 2017 survey reveals a wilderness defined by its hydrologic features, from the isolated Upper Marten Lake in the west to the cluster of eastern waters including Tom Lake, Campbell Lake, and Fall Lake. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the preserved nature of this coastal forest region. Smaller drainages like Orms Cr and Tom Cr illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that characterize the transition from steep slopes to the valley floors, providing essential data for those studying the topographic evolution of Southeast Alaska.
