2023 Map of Nabesna B-4 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses much of this interior Alaska landscape, where the high ridges of the Wrangell Mountains meet the Nutzotin Mountains. The topography is defined by sharp elevation shifts and a drainage network that feeds into Blue Lake via Cooper Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern boundaries and hydrography of the Copper River Census Area, showing the course of Ninemile Creek and Camp Creek as they navigate the steep northern slopes. The map serves as a contemporary record of these protected lands, where the absence of roads and human settlements highlights the region's character as a preserved wilderness at the height of the early twenty-first century.
