2023 Map of Valdez A-2 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the majority of this Alaskan wilderness landscape, where the high mountain terrain is defined by steep contours and glacial drainages. The northern portion of the sheet transitions into the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, a designation reflecting the preserved state of this interior region. The most prominent water feature is Dewey Creek, which flows through the northwestern quadrant of the quadrangle. A significant administrative boundary also crosses the center of the map, marking the divide between Copper River County and Chugach County. This 2023 survey provides a clear look at the undeveloped character of the Copper River region, emphasizing the scale of protected federal lands and the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the area's geological history.
