2019 Map of Gulkana C-2 SE

About this map

The settlement of Chistochina sits at a strategic junction in the Copper River Basin, where the Tok Cutoff Highway meets the braided channels of the Chistochina River. This 2019 survey illustrates the vital transportation corridor connecting the interior with the coast, supported by the Chistochina Airport. The landscape is dominated by the massive confluence where the Chistochina flows into the Copper River, a complex network of gravel bars and shifting watercourses. To the south and east, the map detail extends into the protected wilderness of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve, showcasing a terrain defined by glacial runoff and tributary streams like Boulder Creek and Simona Cr. The layout of surveyed townships, including t9n r4e and t10n r4e, reveals the limited but essential footprint of human infrastructure within this expansive northern environment.
