The Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude Alaskan landscape, where the shifting ice of the Chisana Glacier and Nizina Glacier continues to shape the terrain. This map documents a protected wilderness core within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, showcasing a region defined by its lack of human infrastructure and the persistence of glacial activity. The boundary of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness crosses the sheet, marking a transition between parkland and strictly protected wild zones. Researchers studying geological change or the management of public lands can trace the elevation contours that define the high ridges and glacial basins of the Copper River Census Area at the start of the 2020s.
