2016 Map of Nabesna B-5 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve dominate this corner of the Wrangell Mountains, where the landscape is defined by massive elevational changes and glacial drainages. The map provides a detailed view of the high-altitude terrain surrounding Gold Hill and the deep incision of Jacksina Creek as it flows northward. This 2016 survey captures a wilderness interface where water systems like Canyon Cr, Wait Cr, and Cabin Cr carve through the steep topography. The presence of Swede Gulch suggests a history of localized exploration or prospecting within the broader context of the Alaskan interior. The grid-based surveying of T7N R12E and T7N R13E provides a precise structural framework for understanding these remote drainage patterns and mountain features in a modern context.
