About this map

The Copper River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, carving a wide alluvial path through the terrain south of Chistochina. The topography captures the transition from the river basin into the protected wilderness of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell-Saint-Elias National Preserve. These vast federal lands are defined by complex drainage systems, including the winding courses of Tulsona Creek and Little Tulsona Creek, which feed into the larger river system. Human infrastructure is limited to the corridor of the Tok Cutoff Highway in the northeast, providing a vital connection through this remote stretch of the Copper River Census Area. The map illustrates the sparsely settled nature of the region, where the natural hydrology and federal conservation boundaries dictate the land use patterns.
