2016 Map of Nabesna A-5 SW

About this map

Jacksina Glacier sits at the edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the ice feeds the headwaters of Jacksina Cr as it flows north through the interior of the Copper River region. The map captures the transition between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, a boundary that delineates managed conservation zones within this massive protected area. The topographic detail reveals an environment defined by extreme relief and glacial activity, showing the drainage patterns and steep-walled valleys that characterize this portion of the Wrangell Mountains. Surveyed in the early 21st century, the map documents the modern extent of glacial ice and the complex network of unnamed ridges and basins that surround these prominent water features.
