2016 Map of Valdez B-1 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the vast majority of this 2016 survey, documenting a wild landscape defined by high-elevation topography and a complex network of glacial and mountain streams. The northeastern corner is dominated by the wide corridor of the Chitina River, which serves as the primary drainage for the surrounding peaks. Numerous named tributaries, including Nerelna Cr and Willow Cr, carve deep paths through the terrain, illustrating the dramatic elevation shifts within the park boundaries. The map provides a detailed record of the drainage patterns through features like Pass Cr, Surprise Cr, and Divide Cr. This area is characterized by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural geographic features and the Public Land Survey System township and range lines that grid this protected wilderness in the Alaska interior.
