2023 Map of Nabesna B-1 SW

About this map

Snag Creek meanders through this interior Alaskan wilderness, cutting a wide valley between the high reaches of the Carden Hills to the east and the looming Nutzotin Mountains along the southern edge. The map captures a significant portion of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, a landscape defined by its high-elevation drainage patterns and absence of modern infrastructure. The detailed contouring reveals the complex topography of the Northeast Fairbanks Census Area, where glacial-carved ridges and alluvial basins remain largely untouched. For researchers, this survey provides a precise record of the hydrological network and terrain of this protected area in the early twenty-first century, documenting the natural landforms that dictate movement through the subarctic interior.
