2013 Map of Gulkana A-6 SE

About this map

Mendeltna Lodge serves as the primary landmark in this interior Alaskan landscape, situated along the corridor of the Glenn Hwy. The region is defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and slow-moving drainages, including the prominent Snowshoe Lake and Nickoli Lake. The southern edge of the sheet follows the meandering course of the Nelchina River, while the northern terrain is punctuated by smaller water bodies such as Old Man Lake and Tawawe Lake. This 2013 topographic survey captures the sparsely settled character of the Unorganized Borough, where human activity is largely concentrated near the highway. Numerous unnamed tributaries and seasonal wetlands feed into named channels like Mendeltna Cr and Cache Cr, illustrating the seasonal water patterns typical of the Copper River Basin's western reaches.
