2016 Map of Valdez D-2 NW

About this map

Dadina River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its wide braided bed cutting a path through the southern reaches of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. This 2016 survey illustrates a largely untouched wilderness within the Unorganized Borough, where the terrain is defined by the alluvial patterns of the river and the complex topography of the Wrangell Mountains. The area is divided by numerous township boundaries, including t2n r4e and t3n r4e, which provide the geometric framework for this protected Alaskan interior. For those studying the glacial and fluvial geomorphology of the region, the map details the subtle shifts in the river's course as it flows south toward its eventual confluence beyond this sheet.
