2016 Map of Valdez C-1 SE

About this map

The small settlement of Strelna serves as the primary focal point of this 2016 survey, situated along the historic corridor of the Edgerton Hwy/mccarthy Rd. This route represents a vital artery for the region, providing access through the southern reaches of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of several waterways, including Strelna Cr and the waters of Strelna Lake, which sit at the base of significant elevation shifts. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Iron Mtn, where the headwaters of Iron Cr, Cou Cr, and Benito Cr carve through the high country. The map illustrates the sparsely populated nature of this Alaskan interior, where infrastructure is limited to the single highway corridor amidst a vast network of glacial streams and mountain peaks.
