About this map

The Kotsina River carves a deep valley through this Alaskan wilderness, marking a distinct boundary between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. Elevation reaches its height at Hubbard Peak, overlooking a network of drainages including Willow Cr and Rabbit Cr. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with contours tracing steep slopes that lead down to the braided river channels. This survey documents the preserved territory in the early 21st century, showing the intersection of several township boundaries including t2s r6e and t2s r7e. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the protected status of these federal lands, where narrow tributaries like Elliott Cr and Kushina Cr flow from high-altitude snowmelt into the primary river system.
