Copper River flows through the eastern portion of this terrain, marking a significant hydrological boundary within the Alaskan interior. The landscape is primarily defined by its protected status, split between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. This division reflects complex land management at the turn of the 21st century, where subsistence hunting and other traditional uses are often permitted in the preserve while more strictly limited within the park proper. The drainage system is further detailed by Drop Creek, which meanders across the central flats before joining the larger river system, and smaller water bodies such as Boomerang Lake. Remote landmarks like Tanada and Caribou Cr provide specific points of reference for those navigating this unorganized borough territory.
