2023 Map of Gulkana C-4 SE

About this map

The Gulkana Wild and Scenic River carves a sinuous path through this Interior Alaska landscape, where the West Fork Gulkana River joins the main stem amidst a dense network of wetlands and small lakes. This 2023 survey illustrates the critical infrastructure corridor of the Copper River Census Area, notably where the Alaska Pipeline and the Richardson Highway parallel one another along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map reveals the relationship between modern transit routes and the natural terrain, preserved in the protected riparian corridor. While the river remains a focal point for recreation and natural history, the presence of the Sourdough Ewan Lake Trl and the proximity to Middle Lake highlight the area's continued importance for local access and subsistence.
