2023 Map of Valdez D-2 SE

About this map

Glacial waters and towering peaks dominate this portion of the Wrangell Mountains, situated within the expansive protection of the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage patterns of the East Fork Chetaslina River in the north and the Cheshnina River to the south. This recent topographic survey reveals a rugged interior devoid of roads or settlements, where the primary organizational structures are the public land survey system lines of t1n r5e and t1s r6e. The map serves as a detailed record of high-altitude hydrology and the sharp relief of the Wrangell range, capturing a wilderness where natural boundaries far outweigh human ones.
