2023 Map of Valdez B-2 NW

About this map

Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness dominates the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, preserving a vast roadless expanse where the landscape is defined by drainage patterns rather than human infrastructure. The Copper River flows through the south, carving through the steep terrain of Wood Canyon as it moves toward the coast. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this 2023 survey highlights the region's character as a primitive corridor, where the only landmarks are the intersecting waterways. Tributaries like the Uranatina River and Haley Creek cut across the central and southern sections, while O'Brien Creek and Fox Creek drain the northern slopes. This map detail offers a precise look at the township and range divisions across this remote portion of the Copper River Census Area, illustrating how the wilderness remains largely untouched by development.
