About this map

Wrangell Peak rises above the coastal waters of southeast Alaska in this topographical study of the Wrangell City and Borough area. The landscape is dominated by the heavily timbered slopes of the Tongass National Forest, where steep drainages like Crittenden Cr and Government Cr carve through the mountainous terrain toward the sea. Along the southwestern edge of the sheet, the land meets the Eastern Passage at Gerard Point, a distinct coastal landmark. The map illustrates the region's wilderness character, defined by massive elevation changes and a network of glacial or snow-fed streams including S Fork Andrew Cr, providing a detailed look at the island's natural geography before any significant modern road development reached this portion of the interior.
