2016 Map of Nabesna B-5 NW

About this map

Tanada Lake and its surrounding glacial terrain dominate this portion of the Alaskan interior, situated within the protected boundaries of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Tanada Creek, which flows northward through a broad valley flanked by high ridges. To the west, the waters of Copper Lake sit at the base of steep slopes, marking a transition into the more mountainous sections of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. This 2016 survey highlights a wilderness region largely devoid of human infrastructure, where the primary features are the natural hydrography and the expansive reach of federal conservation lands. The map provides a precise look at the complex contour lines and wetland systems that characterize the high-altitude basins and drainages of the Nabesna area.
