About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape in the Unorganized Borough, where the headwaters and drainages of glacial systems define the topography. The Hanagita River flows through the central portion of the quadrangle, connecting a series of water bodies including Middle Hanagita Lake and the Upper Hanagita Lakes. To the south, the Klu River cuts through the steep elevation, illustrating the remote and untouched character of this interior Alaskan wilderness. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the drainage patterns and landforms within the nation's largest national park, where natural watercourses remain the primary geographic landmarks in a region devoid of permanent settlements or infrastructure.
