About this map

Mt Kimball stands as the high point of this glaciated terrain within the Alaska Range, where massive ice flows shape the headwaters of the Copper River drainage. The upper reaches of the Chistochina Glacier and Robertson Glacier dominate the northern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the powerful role of alpine ice in carving the landscape. Below the ice, the network of glacial runoff forms the Middle Fork Chistochina River, which is joined by numerous small tributaries including Bedrock Cr and Krachner Cr.

The presence of names like Coal Cr and Limestone Cr suggests the underlying geology that long drew mineral exploration to this remote portion of the Unorganized Borough. Near the southern boundary, Trout Lake provides a rare point of still water amidst the high-energy flow of the Chisna River. This survey captures the topographical complexity of a region defined by high-altitude peaks and the dynamic hydrology of the subarctic.
