About this map

Merle K Smith Airport and its adjacent shooting ranges sit at the northern edge of this complex coastal landscape, where the Sheridan River and Glacier River drain toward the sea. The map documents the intricate waterways of the Copper River Delta, a region defined by shifting channels like Alaganik Slough and Storey Slough. Human presence is marked by a network of wilderness outposts, including the Tiedeman Slough Cabin and Pete Dahl Cabin, alongside the remains of Alaganik (Aband).

Transport and recreation in the Chugach National Forest are centered around the Copper River Highway and the Alaganik Bridge. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of a Cem near the old Alaganik site and various Cabins around McKinley Lake provides specific points of interest. The landscape transitions from the high ground of McKinley Peak down to the expansive Grass Island Bar and Kokinhenik Bar on the Gulf of Alaska coastline.
