2019 Map of Gulkana B-3 SW
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
Gakona Junction marks the pivotal intersection of the Richardson Highway and the Tok Cutoff Highway, serving as a vital transportation node in the Copper River Basin. The landscape is defined by the confluence of major waterways, where the Gulkana River and Gakona River feed into the braided channels of the massive Copper River. This 2019 survey illustrates the modern layout of the Gakona settlement and the nearby Jacobus Field airstrip, which supports local aviation needs in this interior region. The eastern portion of the map covers the boundary of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve, documenting the interface between human infrastructure and protected wilderness. Smaller access routes like Sailors Pit Trail and 23 ARC-19 Road branch off the primary highways, while Bear Cr drains the marshy lowlands to the west.
