About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this 2016 survey, where deep glacial-carved valleys meet a complex system of braided river channels. The southeast corner is defined by the Bremner River, which cuts through the landscape as it drains the surrounding peaks. In the southwestern portion of the sheet, the land forms a distinctive landmass known as The Peninsula, surrounded by a wide, sediment-filled basin. This landscape illustrates the dynamic nature of Alaskan wilderness, where elevation drops from over 7,000 feet to the riverbed in a relatively short distance. The survey documents the Public Land Survey System grid across these remote townships, including t9s r4e and t10s r5e, providing a precise record of federal land boundaries within one of the nation's largest protected areas.
