2023 Map of Gulkana D-4 SE

About this map

Paxson serves as the focal point for this interior Alaska landscape, situated at the headwaters where the Gulkana River flows from Paxson Lake. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Gulkana Wild and Scenic River corridor, a critical waterway for navigation and local ecology. A network of historic overland routes, including the Middle Fork Gulkana Trl and the Twelve Mile Creek Trl, underscores the area's importance as a transit corridor through the Copper River Census Area. These trails, along with the Green Cabin Trl, provide evidence of seasonal movement and remote access across the drainage basins of Twelvemile Creek and Gillespie Creek. The map detail captures the specialized infrastructure of the Alaskan wilderness, where watercourses and primitive trails define the geography of the high country.
