About this map

The Copper River Delta dominates this coastal survey, where the river's massive sediment output meets the churning waters of the Gulf of Alaska. By the late 1980s, this area was formally recognized as the Copper River Delta State Critical Habitat Area, a designation reflecting the complex wetland ecology of the shoreline. The map documents the shifting sands of Strawberry Reef, a notable maritime feature at the river's mouth. Much of the sheet covers the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean, marked by an Indefinite Boundary and detailed bathymetric soundings that reveal the underwater topography of the continental shelf. This is a landscape of constant flux, where the interplay of glacial silt and oceanic tides creates a dynamic and uninhabited coastal margin.
