Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates this high-latitude terrain along the international boundary between Alaska and Canada. The landscape is defined by the massive glacial systems that move through the Yakutat Borough, including the southern reaches of the Agassiz Glacier and the northern edge of the Malaspina Glacier. These frozen rivers are separated by the rising elevations of the Samovar Hills, which provide a geological break in the ice field. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns and elevation changes in a region where the land is constantly being shaped by moving ice. Because there are no roads or settlements, the map relies heavily on the Public Land Survey System grid, showing the intersections of t19s r27e and t20s r28e across the wilderness.
