1949 Map of Gulkana A-6

About this map

Slide Mountain anchors the southern portion of this landscape, its steep contours giving way to a vast network of water bodies and marshlands. This 1949 survey illustrates the early infrastructure of the Copper River Meridian, centered on the corridor of the Glenn Highway. Human activity is concentrated along this route, notably at the Mendeltna Lodge, which serves as a remote outpost in an area otherwise defined by its intricate hydrology.
