2023 Map of Gulkana C-3 NW

About this map

The Alaska Pipeline corridors and industrial infrastructure define this modern view of the Copper River Census Area. Running parallel to the historic Richardson Highway, the pipeline route cuts a distinct north-south path through a complex aquatic landscape of wetlands and winding waterways. The southeastern corner is marked by the wide reach of the Gakona River, while the western portion of the map is shaped by the drainage systems of Haggard Creek and Spring Creek. Rising above the surrounding lowlands, Hogan Hill provides a primary topographic landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the meandering path of Sourdough Creek. This survey captures the essential intersection of Alaska's critical energy transport corridor and its preserved wilderness interior.
