2023 Map of Gulkana C-5 NW

About this map

Gulkana Wild and Scenic River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a protected corridor within the Copper River Basin. The terrain is defined by the hydrologic network of the West Fork Gulkana River, which is fed by smaller tributaries including Moose Creek and Keg Creek. This modern survey illustrates the remote character of the interior, where the administrative boundary between Matanuska-Susitna and Copper River counties cuts through an area largely void of man-made infrastructure. The lack of roads or settlements highlights the preservation of the river's natural drainage patterns, offering a clear view of the wetland and riparian systems as they existed in the early 2020s.
