About this map

The Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses most of this landscape, showcasing the transition between subarctic wetlands and the rising slopes of the Wrangell Mountains. The terrain is defined by a dense network of marshes and water bodies in the northwest, including Billy Lake and the interconnected Yokneda Lakes. As the land moves southeast, the topography shifts into the protected boundaries of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns and remote elevation changes within the Copper River Census Area, revealing a territory almost entirely devoid of human infrastructure or roads. The map highlights the vast scale of protected Alaskan wilderness, where the only identifiers are natural landmarks and public land survey system lines such as t8n r4e and t7n r5e.
