About this map

The Wrangell Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, where several distinct land management zones converge. This 2023 survey illustrates the boundary line between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park to the north and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve to the south. Further protected designations are seen in the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness area, marking this as a region of significant conservation. Steep drainage networks are anchored by high-elevation water bodies including Tanada Lake and Sheep Lake. The terrain is characterized by intricate contouring that defines the glacial and volcanic topography of the range, with numerous small tributaries such as Goat Creek and Pass Creek carving through the valleys. The map provides a contemporary look at these protected interior lands, detailing the specific administrative divisions within one of the nation's largest wilderness complexes.
