About this map

The Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the protected boundaries of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. This glaciated terrain is defined by massive ice fields including Lime Glacier and Middle Fork Glacier, which serve as the headwaters for a complex alpine drainage system. The Middle Fork White River and North Fork White River carve through the deep valleys between high summits such as Beaver Peak. Precise cartography here captures a wilderness largely devoid of human structures, focusing instead on the hydrological patterns of Lime Creek and Geohenda Cr as they flow from the ice-capped peaks. The map reveals the intricate contours of a landscape shaped by active glaciation and the dramatic vertical relief characteristic of this corner of the Unorganized Borough.
