Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude survey of the Alaskan interior, where the ice-dominated landscape is defined by the massive Nabesna Glacier. This quadrangle captures a portion of the largest national park in the United States, illustrating the boundary between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the even more strictly preserved Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. The terrain is characterized by high-relief contours and glacial flow patterns, providing a precise look at the glacial geography before further modern changes. Absent of any roads or human settlements, the map focuses entirely on the natural transitions between ice and alpine rock, mapped within the township grids of t1n r11e, t1n r12e, and the surrounding ranges.
