2023 Map of Nabesna D-5 NE

About this map

Mentasta Lake sits at the headwaters of a high-elevation drainage system where the Copper River and Southeast Fairbanks Census Areas meet. This interior landscape is defined by the sharp topographical transitions around Meiklejohn Pass, a natural gateway in the mountain range that has historically influenced movement through the region. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated by the winding paths of Trail Creek, Mice Creek, and Moose Creek, which carve through the steep contour lines. The map captures the administrative complexity of the Alaskan interior, showing the intersection of several townships and ranges including t14n r12e and t13n r13e. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of the hydrological and elevation data essential for navigating this part of the Nabesna quadrangle.
