About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the high-altitude landscape shown in this 2023 survey of the Chugach Mountains. The terrain is defined by extreme relief and glacial drainage patterns, where the Chakina River flows through the western portion of the quadrangle. This protected area includes the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, a designation that reflects the undeveloped character of these peaks and valleys.

Waterways like Granitic Creek and the steep corridor of Jacobson Gulch carve through the mountain range, illustrating the erosional forces at work in the Copper River Census Area. The map provides a precise record of the public land survey system grid, including townships like t9s r13e, superimposed over a wilderness where no roads or permanent settlements are indicated, emphasizing the preservation of the landscape in its natural state.
