The United States-Canada boundary defines the eastern edge of this high-altitude terrain, where the peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains rise dramatically along the border. This 2018 survey reveals the ice-dominated landscape of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, a region characterized by the movement of massive ice sheets. Significant geological features include the Alverstone Glacier and the Hubbard Glacier, which feed through the complex topography of the mountain range. Near the northern boundary, Mt Alverstone stands as a prominent summit, while Mt Hubbard overlooks the international line further south. The map provides precise contour data for these extreme elevations, showing the immense physical barriers that have historically dictated the boundary surveying and exploration of the Alaskan interior.
