2024 Map of Petersburg C-1 SE

About this map

Stikine-Leconte Wilderness dominates the northern and central portions of this Southeast Alaskan landscape, preserving a reach of the coastal mountains defined by dramatic elevation changes and glaciation. The terrain rises sharply to Mt Waters in the southeast, where the Nelson Glacier remains a prominent feature of the high-country hydrology. Drainage patterns are established by several major watercourses, including Andrew Creek and Aaron Creek, which carve through the steep topography of Wrangell. Historically significant locations like Groundhog Basin and Horseshoe Basin indicate the mineral and exploration interests that once drew prospectors to these remote elevations. The map provides a clear record of the watershed boundaries, including the South Fork Andrew Creek and Porterfield Creek, illustrating the complex intersection of ice, rock, and freshwater systems in the Alexander Archipelago.
