2016 Map of Gulkana C-2 SE

About this map

The Chistochina River and Copper River define the lower elevations of this 2016 survey, where glacial silt and braided water channels create a complex hydrographic network. Much of the southeastern portion of the map is situated within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve, illustrating the intersection of federally protected wilderness and essential transport corridors. The Tok Cutoff Highway runs through the central valley, providing the primary overland connection near the Chistochina Airport. This landscape is characterized by the immense scale of Alaskan river systems, where tributaries like Sinona Cr and Boulder Cr feed into the larger glacial flows. The map provides a precise view of the topography at the edge of the Copper River Basin before it ascends into the high peaks of the interior mountain ranges.
