About this map

Nabesna River winds through this expansive landscape, marking a terrain defined by complex wetland systems and glacial drainage patterns. The northern boundary of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve occupies the southern reaches of the map, where the elevation rises significantly toward the high peaks of the interior. This region serves as a critical transition point between major administrative regions, where the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area meets the Valdez-Cordova Census Area.

The hydrography is particularly notable, featuring the clusters of the Pickeral Lakes and the branching network of Lick Creek. Large swaths of wetlands are indicated across the central flats, illustrating the saturation of the valley floor surrounding the main river channel. The map provides an essential record of the natural boundaries and surveyed townships, including t9n r16e and t10n r17e, as they were documented in the early twenty-first century.
