2016 Map of Valdez D-2 NE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve encompasses the heart of this landscape, where the high alpine peaks of the Wrangell Mountains dominate the horizon. This 2016 survey highlights a remote Alaskan wilderness defined by glacial drainages and sharp topographic relief. The Chichokna River and Chetaslina River cut through the terrain, fed by the runoff from higher elevations like Sheep Gulch. The map demonstrates the complex drainage patterns typical of this sub-arctic environment, showing how these waterways navigate the base of the mountains before converging. For researchers of Alaskan geography, the map provides a precise look at the township and range lines, such as t2n r5e, as they overlay this largely roadless preserve.
