2023 Map of Nabesna A-4 SW

About this map

The Nabesna River winds through this interior landscape, fed by the massive Nabesna Glacier as it descends from the Wrangell Mountains. This high-altitude region is defined by its protected status within the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The map documents the shifting glacial margins and the braided river channels typical of this subarctic environment. The terrain is largely dominated by the natural hydrology of Nikonda Creek and the vast ice fields, showing the area as it remained in the early 21st century, largely untouched by permanent human infrastructure or roads.
