About this map

Wrangell-St Elias National Park dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain, where the Copper River flows along the Wrangell-St Elias National Park Boundary. The landscape is defined by the glacial drainage patterns of the Uranatina River and the Little Tonsina River, along with various creeks such as Mosquito Creek and Ernestine Creek. Human presence is concentrated along the western edge, following the corridor of the Richardson Highway.

Evidence of early infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the river, a remnant of the region's industrial transport history. Small outposts like Ernestine and scattered Cabins mark the sparse settlement pattern of the mid-20th century. Local transit is further documented by the Tiekel R Tr, while the vast Wrangell-St Elias Wilderness occupies the high-elevation zones to the east.
