About this map

The Mount Wrangell Crater dominates the northern elevation of this map, serving as a prominent landmark within the massive high-altitude terrain of the Wrangell Mountains. This high country is defined by significant ice and glacial systems, including the Chetaslina Glacier and the Long Glacier. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Cheshnina Glacier flows through the landscape, illustrating the active glacial environment that characterizes this part of Alaska. This territory is managed under multiple conservation designations, with the map showing the transition between the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, and the designated Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the remote and protected nature of this wilderness area.
