About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve occupies the northeastern corner of this Copper River Census Area survey, where the glacial waters of the Copper River meet the Nadina River. This high-latitude landscape is defined by the critical infrastructure of the Alaska Pipeline and the Richardson Highway, which run parallel through the central corridor of the sheet. These man-made lifelines navigate a complex drainage system fed by Willow Creek and Rock Creek.

Settlement is concentrated around the community of Kenny Lake in the southeast, situated near the expansive Willow Lake. The terrain transitions from these low-lying water bodies toward prominent summits such as Stuck Mtn and Willow Mtn. Local transit is supported by a network of rural routes including Old Edgerton Loop Road and Glennwood Drive, providing access to the rugged interior north of the Chugach Mountains.
