About this map

The Wrangell Mountains dominate this 2023 survey of the Alaska interior, showcasing a landscape defined by federal land designations and glacial hydrology. Large portions of the terrain are divided between the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. These boundaries represent a complex modern conservation framework established to protect one of the most significant mountain systems in North America.

Water flows are central to the area's geography, with the Copper River cutting through the southeastern corner and Drop Creek winding through the western sections. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of protected wilderness areas and the hydrographic patterns of the Copper River Census Area, where the high-altitude terrain of the Wrangell range dictates the path of every stream and tributary.
