About this map

The Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in eastern Alaska, where glacial activity and drainage patterns define the geography. The northeastern portion of the sheet is marked by the presence of the Copper River, which flows alongside the extensive Copper Glacier. These features represent the transition between massive ice fields and the developing river systems that carve through the surrounding peaks. Within the protected boundaries of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, the map captures a remote wilderness largely untouched by permanent settlement or road infrastructure.

Conservation history is physically represented by the boundary for the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, which encompasses much of the southern and eastern terrain. To the northwest, West Glacier sits among the high contours, feeding the complex network of stream channels that eventually join the broader river valley. This survey provides a baseline of glacial extent and hydrological patterns in one of the most protected alpine environments in the United States.
