2023 Map of Nabesna C-5 SE

About this map

The Mentasta Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this interior Alaskan territory, where the settlements of Slana and Nabesna are connected by the lifeline of the Nabesna Road. This corridor serves as a vital transit point between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The map documents a network of backcountry routes, including the Lost Creek Trl and the Soda Lake Reroute Trl, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Chalk Creek and Lost Creek. To the south, the Boyden Hills rise above Big Grayling Lake, marking a transition in the terrain. The boundary between the Copper River and Southeast Fairbanks Census Areas is clearly delineated across the northern peaks, illustrating the administrative divisions of this high-elevation wilderness.
