2016 Map of Nabesna A-6 SE

About this map

Mt Jarvis stands as a massive landmark in this high-altitude glacial environment, situated at the intersection of protected federal lands. The landscape is defined by the massive slow-moving ice of the Nabesna Glacier and the Copper Glacier, which carve through the high terrain of the Wrangell Mountains. This 2016 survey captures the boundary where the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park meets the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The map provides an intricate look at the contouring and glacial morphology of this subarctic wilderness, where industrial or residential development is entirely absent in favor of raw geological features like the Jueksina Glacier. It serves as a precise record of ice extent and mountain topography at the start of the twenty-first century.
