About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park preserves a vast mountain wilderness in the southeastern interior of Alaska, defined by the glacial waters of the Chakina River and its W Fork Chakina River. This 2017 topographic survey highlights a landscape dominated by dramatic elevation changes, with Goodlata Peak serving as a primary landmark in the center of the sheet. The drainage patterns of the river forks reveal the complex topography of this protected region, which remains largely untouched by modern road infrastructure. Public Land Survey System boundaries, such as t9s r12e and t10s r13e, divide the territory, providing a grid for researchers to locate specific natural features within the park's expansive boundaries.
