2023 Map of Nabesna A-2 NE

About this map

The Nutzotin Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, where the southern peaks reach toward the Carl Glacier. This 2023 survey documents a wilderness of sharp elevation changes and glacial runoff, with Needle Peak standing as a central landmark above the converging drainages of Snag Creek and Two-by-Four Creek. The terrain reflects the transition from the eastern Alaska Range into the vast river systems of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. Evidence of seasonal water flow is found in the northern drainages of Bruin Creek and Sheep Creek, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns of this remote interior region before it crosses toward the international border.
