About this map

Schwan Glacier and its surrounding ice fields dominate this portion of the Chugach National Forest, illustrating a landscape in constant flux during the late twentieth century. The map details the convergence of massive ice flows, including Heney Glacier, Miles Glacier, and the sprawling Allen Glacier, which define the drainage patterns and topography of the Copper River region.

A significant historical marker on the eastern edge is the site of Bremner (Aban'd), located near the mouth of Ginny Creek. This point serves as a reminder of earlier human activity and river navigation in a territory now primarily managed as the Copper River Delta Fish and Wildlife Management Area and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. From the heights of Island Point to the cascading Whiting Falls, the sheet tracks the intersection of protected wilderness and the dynamic glacial environment.
