About this map

The Dadina River carves a path through the towering Wrangell Mountains, defining the primary drainage system of this remote Alaskan interior. The landscape is split between the high-elevation protection of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness to the north and the broader Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve spanning the southern reaches. This modern survey illustrates the sharp transition from steep, glacial-carved peaks into the river valleys below, where braided water channels navigate the base of the mountains. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the character of this protected wilderness, focusing entirely on the topographic contours and the natural course of the river through several townships including t2n r4e and t1n r4e.
