Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve and Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park define this interior Alaskan landscape, where glacial activity dictates the geography. The high-altitude terrain is dominated by the Cheshnina Glacier and the Long Glacier, which serve as the headwaters for the surrounding drainage systems. The Cheshnina River carries glacial melt through the western portion of the quadrangle, while Limestone Cr and Clear Cr flow through the southern and eastern sectors. This 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of federal protected lands and the raw glacial environment, providing a detailed record of ice margins and stream paths within the Unorganized Borough. It is an essential document for understanding the hydrologic patterns of the Copper River basin at this moment in the early 21st century.
