2019 Map of Valdez C-1 SE

About this map

Strelna serves as the primary point of human activity on this landscape, situated along the Edgerton Hwy/Mccarthy Rd in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area is defined by the transition from the lowlands around Strelna Lake and Sculpin Lake to the rising elevations of the Wrangell Mountains. The map documents a significant portion of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, where a network of trails facilitates access into the wilderness. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly steep toward Iron Mtn, with several drainage systems including Iron Cr and Strelna Cr carving through the landscape. The layout of the Kotsina River Trail and Nugget Creek Access Trail illustrates how historical travel routes follow natural topography, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure within this protected Alaskan interior.
