About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses most of this landscape, where high-altitude wilderness meets the glacial-fed drainage systems of the eastern Alaska interior. The terrain is dominated by the Nutzotin Mountains, a range characterized by significant relief and complex drainage patterns that feed into the larger regional basins. The primary watercourse, Snag Creek, meanders across the central and northern reaches, creating a wide riparian corridor within the mountainous surroundings. Along the southern edge, the headwaters of Carden Cr emerge, illustrating the intricate divide between these sub-basins. This 2016 survey provides a clear view of the topographic contours and hydrography that define this undeveloped section of the unorganized borough, documenting the state of the preserve's natural borders and hydrological features in the early twenty-first century.
