1985 Map of Mount Saint Elias A-3

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the Wrangell-Saint Elias Wilderness dominate the small portion of land shown in the southwest corner of this map, representing a massive expanse of protected subarctic wilderness. Produced in 1985, this topographic sheet documents the international boundary line where the Alaska Yukon Territory border meets the United States Canada division. The map is primarily comprised of a vast, unmapped coordinate grid, reflecting the extreme and inaccessible nature of the high-altitude terrain near the border. It serves as a record of federal reservation boundaries established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980, as compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Bureau of Land Management.
