About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses the majority of this high-latitude terrain, where the hydrology is defined by a series of branching creek systems. Drainage is oriented primarily around Baultoff Creek in the north and the multi-lobed Braye Lakes further south. The land is characterized by significant elevation changes, notably at Braye Pass and the steep incisions of Eureka Gulch.

Human presence is sparse and concentrated at the southern edge of the survey, where Horsfeld Airport sits near the banks of Horsfeld Cr. This airstrip serves as a critical point of access for this portion of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, positioned just north of Beaver Creek. The landscape remains largely undeveloped, with no established roads, instead relying on natural corridors like Gravel Creek and Lamb Cr for navigation through the mountainous interior.
