2023 Map of Nabesna C-2 SE

About this map

Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge dominates the interior of this topographic study, representing a vast expanse of subarctic wetlands and boreal forests in eastern Alaska. The landscape is characterized by intricate hydrographic patterns where Stuver Creek meanders across the northern reaches, while the southeast corner is defined by the broad path of the Chisana River. This glacial river system serves as a natural boundary near the northern edge of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. Topographic relief is most pronounced in the northeast, where the Block Hills rise above the surrounding flats. The map illustrates the intersection of these two major federal conservation units, highlighting a wilderness area devoid of modern road infrastructure and defined by its natural drainage systems.
