Saint Elias Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in eastern Alaska, where the terrain is shaped by active glaciation. The Russell Glacier descends through the central portion of the sheet, carving through the mountainous core of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. This 2023 survey illustrates the complex topography of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, a region defined by its lack of human infrastructure and reliance on natural geological boundaries like the township lines for t3s r20e and t4s r20e. The map serves as a modern record of glacial extent and alpine features in one of the most remote sections of the Copper River Census Area, capturing the intersection of protected wilderness and massive ice fields.
