2019 Map of Nabesna B-6 SE

About this map

The Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve intersect in this 2019 survey, capturing a high-altitude wilderness where glacial-carved terrain meets the Wrangell Mountains. The primary human footprint across this landscape is the Copper Lake Trail, which meanders through the western half of the quadrangle, likely serving as a critical access route for early travel or backcountry subsistence. In the southeastern corner, the terrain reaches a dramatic point at Tanada Peak, rising above a complex network of elevation contours that define the area's sharp relief. This map provides a detailed look at the interface between managed wilderness zones and the natural landmarks that dictated movement through this part of the Alaska interior.
