About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the protected Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness dominate this high-altitude landscape in eastern Alaska. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where Canyon Creek carves through the central valleys, fed by tributaries including Falls Creek and Divide Creek. These waterways reveal the glacial and fluvial processes active within the copper-rich region of the Copper River Census Area.

Summit Lake sits as a significant landmark in the northeastern portion of the sheet, serving as a focal point for understanding the local hydrography. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the remote, protected character of this wilderness area. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries, specifically t6s r6e and t7s r7e, which are essential for geographers and researchers tracking land use and conservation boundaries in the Alaskan interior.
