2023 Map of Gulkana B-5 SE

About this map

Mendeltna lies at the southwestern edge of this Alaska Copper River Census Area terrain, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The hydrography of the region is punctuated by prominent water bodies like Crosswind Lake in the northeast and Salmon Berry Lake in the south-central portion of the quadrangle. These lakes, including First Hill Lake and Second Hill Lake, suggest a basin typical of the interior plateau, where drainage is managed by small waterways such as Tolsona Creek. The map reflects a modern inventory of the area's natural features, highlighting the isolation and watery character of the land between the major river valleys of the Gulkana region. While human infrastructure is sparse, the named landmarks like Game Trail Lake point toward the area's significance for local subsistence and seasonal movement.
