About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park protects a high-altitude wilderness where glacial activity continues to carve the landscape. The terrain is dominated by the massive Wrangell Mountains, characterized by steep elevation changes and extensive ice fields. This survey documents the northern reaches of the Nabesna Glacier as it flows through the mountain valleys, while the Kuskulana Glacier appears to the south. The map provides a detailed look at the physical geography of this unpopulated interior region of the Valdez-Cordova Census Area, showing the complex contour patterns that define these subarctic peaks and glacial flows. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the isolation and protected nature of this portion of the national park system during the early twenty-first century.
