About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates this landscape, showing the dramatic elevations of the Saint Elias Mountains in the Unorganized Borough. The topography is defined by the steep descent into Chitistone Gorge, where the Chitistone River carves through the terrain. A notable geographic feature in the northern section is the Hole-In-The-Wall Glacier, which feeds into the local drainage system including Moonshine Cr and Hasen Cr. For those tracing historical movement through this high country, the Goat Trail Route is clearly marked as it traverses the slopes above the river, passing near the spectacular Chitistone Falls. This map captures a portion of the Alaskan wilderness where traditional foot routes provide the primary means of navigating between the glacial heights and the deep river valleys.
