About this map

The Copper River dominates this coastal landscape as it empties into the Gulf of Alaska, creating an intricate network of shifting channels and islands within the Chugach National Forest. The complex Martin River Delta is visible to the east, where the Martin River meets tidal flats and extensive mud banks. This area is characterized by a series of braided waterways including Healy Island Slough, Storey Slough, and the Kokinhenik Branch, illustrating the dynamic nature of glacial runoff and sediment deposition.

Industrial and transport footprints are limited to a single Highway traversing Long Island, crossing the Copper River via Flag Point. High-altitude topographical detail is provided by Saddlebag Glacier in the northwest, while coastal landmarks such as Cottonwood Pt and the Kokinhenik I station provide essential reference points for maritime navigation and early surveying efforts along this active shoreline.
