About this map

The Copper River dominates this Alaskan landscape, carving a massive corridor between the high terrain of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the Chugach National Forest. This modern survey illustrates the convergence of major glacial drainage systems, including the Tasnuna River and Jackson Creek. A narrow landform known as The Peninsula sits prominently within the river's path, highlighting the dynamic nature of the valley floor. Transportation in this wilderness is limited to foot travel along routes like the Jackson Creek Trl and Cleave Creek Trl, which follow the natural contours of the drainages. The map provides a contemporary look at the protected boundaries of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness, where the scale of the environment remains largely untouched by industrial infrastructure.
