About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the shifting ice of several major glaciers defines the terrain. The northern reaches are dominated by the Chisana Glacier, while the southeastern corner is shaped by the Frederika Glacier. Further south, the Nizina Glacier flows through the steep valleys of the Wrangell Mountains. This map documents a protected wilderness interior, showing the intricate contour patterns and drainage systems of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. The Absence of roads or human settlements emphasizes the primitive state of this alpine region, which remains a key area for studying glacial movement and the geological evolution of the Alaskan interior.
