About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park define this interior Alaskan landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of the Saint Elias Mountains meets the wide braided channel of the Chitina River. The map highlights a series of distinctive drainage features including Devils Gulch and Hells Kitchen Gulch, which carve through the southern slopes of MacColl Ridge. This area is characterized by intense topographic relief, with elevation markers tracing the steep descent from the peaks toward the river valley floor.
