About this map

The Gakona River carves through the northwestern edge of this interior landscape, marking a significant drainage path within the Copper River Census Area. This terrain is characterized by high-elevation water bodies, most notably the centrally located Caribou Lake and the smaller Alder Lake to its north. These lakes suggest a high-plateau environment where glacial or permafrost-driven hydrology dominates the drainage patterns. Toward the southeastern corner, the flow of Sinona Creek and Excelsior Creek indicates the localized watershed divisions that define this part of the Alaska Range's southern foothills. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t21s r13e and t21s r14e, which are essential for understanding land partitioning and property boundaries in this wilderness region.
