2016 Map of Nabesna B-3 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses the vast majority of this 2016 survey, representing a landscape defined by the high-elevation reaches of the Alaska Range. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of glacial and snowmelt drainages that feed into larger systems such as Antler Creek (also labeled as Antler Cr in its upper sections) and Stone Creek. The map reflects a modern preservation era where land use is defined by federal conservation boundaries rather than permanent human settlement. The topographic data captures the intricate ridge lines and steep elevation changes within the Wrangell Mountains, where the lack of roads or infrastructure highlights the wild character of this corner of the Unorganized Borough.
