About this map

The Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses most of this landscape, reflecting a protected wilderness in the eastern interior of Alaska. The high elevations of the Wrangell Mountains dominate the terrain, where sharp contour lines trace the steep ascent of the northern slopes. Waterways such as Cooper Creek and Ninemile Cr carve through the drainage basins, creating a natural network of seasonal and perennial flows that feed into the larger regional systems.

A solitary high-mountain water body, Blue Lake, sits tucked among the ridges, representing a classic alpine feature of this subarctic environment. The lack of roads or established structures highlights the remote nature of this area, which is primarily defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries like t7n r15e and t6n r15e. This survey provides a baseline of natural hydrography and topography for a region where the landscape is shaped more by geologic forces than human development.
