About this map

The high alpine drainages of the Nutzotin Mountains dominate this 2023 survey of the remote Alaska-Yukon borderlands. Much of the territory lies within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, where glacial-fed waters such as Gravel Creek and Baultoff Creek carve through the high-elevation terrain. This specific quadrangle captures a rugged section of the interior where the United States of America meets its eastern neighbor, marked by the prominent north-south boundary line.

Evidence of human access in this wilderness is sparse, centered primarily on the Horsfeld Airport near the banks of Horsfeld Creek in the southwest. From Braye Pass, the landscape descends toward Braye Lakes and the headwaters of Little Creek. The map provides an essential record of the water network, including Beaver Creek and Eureka Gulch, which define the drainage patterns of this protected northern ecosystem.
