About this map

The Copper River and its confluence with the Bremner River dominate this portion of the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park in the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by massive glacial features, including extensive crevasses and high alpine lakes such as Tebay Lake and the Upper Tebay Lakes in the northeast. This terrain demonstrates the dynamic hydrology of the Alaskan interior, where seasonal melt feeds systems like Happell Slough and the Little Bremner River.

Human presence is minimal on this sheet, marked only by an isolated Cabin and the Wilderness Boundary. A significant landform known as The Peninsula sits at the southwestern edge of the quadrangle, illustrating how the powerful flow of the Copper River carves through the surrounding mountain ranges. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns of Porcupine Creek and Mac Creek, which are critical to understanding the remote topography of the Wrangell-Saint Elias Wilderness.
