About this map

The wild coastline where the Saint Elias Mountains meet the Gulf of Alaska is meticulously charted in this modern survey. The map's upper portion is dominated by the southeastern reach of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, a massive protected landscape defined by glacial runoff and coastal plains. Several distinct waterways, including Oar Stream, Osar Stream, and Forney Stream, drain from the northern highlands toward the sea. The geography here is largely uninhabited, characterized by the shifting boundary between the North Pacific and the vast Alaskan wilderness, with the survey capturing the exact shoreline and hydrography as they appeared in the early 21st century.
