About this map

The Gilahina River and Chokosna River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, where the foothills of the Wrangell Mountains meet extensive wetlands. The modern route of McCarthy Road cuts across the northern half of the area, following a corridor that has historically provided access to this remote region. The map reveals a complex hydrography of braided river channels and small upland bodies of water like Rock Lake and Tooth Lake. To the south, the Crystalline Hills rise above the surrounding flats, while Gilahina Butte stands as a prominent landmark near the river's path. This survey delineates the overlapping boundaries of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, documenting the land's transition from high peaks to the marshy lowlands drained by Dora Creek.
