1996 Map of Valdez D-1

About this map

Mt Wrangell Crater dominates the high-elevation landscape of this survey, marking a geological anchor within the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park. The terrain is defined by massive ice systems, including the Chetaslina Glacier and Cheshnina Glacier, which feed a network of braided waterways such as the Chetaslina River and the East Fork Chetaslina River. This environment illustrates the transition from glacial heights to the forested valleys where a lone Cabin appears along the lower Cheshnina River. The map details the overlapping jurisdictions of the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Preserve and the Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness, including the dramatic Cheshnina Falls. Southward, the topography levels slightly toward Clear Creek and Limestone Creek, though the land remains largely untracked by roads or modern development.
