The Saint Elias Mountains define the high-elevation character of this Alaskan interior landscape, where the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve meets the protected reaches of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. The terrain is characterized by sharp relief and a complex drainage system, with Canyon Creek and its tributaries cutting through the center of the sheet. To the west, the prominent MacColl Ridge stands over the valley of Young Creek. High-country water features like the Big Bend Lakes and the headwaters of Erickson Creek illustrate the untouched hydrological network of the Copper River Census Area. This map captures a modern view of one of the most remote federal landholdings in the United States, illustrating the intersections of Township and Range lines across undeveloped peaks and glacial valleys.
