2016 Map of Nabesna A-4 NW

About this map

The braided channels of the Nabesna River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. This terrain is defined by the massive glacial flow of the Nabesna Glacier and the towering peaks of the Wrangell Mountains in the south. The hydrography of the region is complex, with numerous tributaries such as Monte Cristo Creek, Nikonda Creek, and Bond Creek feeding into the main river valley. Notable landmarks like Orange Hill stand out against the high-elevation contours, while smaller watercourses like Fish Cr carve through the northern sections. This survey provides a precise view of the drainage patterns and topographical transitions between the active glacial face and the alluvial plains of the river system.
