About this map

Baldhead Mtn and Pilcher Mtn rise prominently in this corner of the Kusilvak Census Area, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and drainage basins. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by a complex network of waterways, where Wahpoo Cr and Wilson Cr wind through the valleys. The relief is particularly defined around Cottonwood Point, which serves as a significant landmark above the lower-lying flats to the north.

The drainage patterns of Happy Cr and King Cr in the southeast suggest a rugged interior topography that remains largely untouched by modern development. This 2017 survey provides a detailed look at the land's natural contours and the specific naming of peaks and creeks that define the local geography in this part of Alaska, offering a clear view of the terrain before any further shifting of the hydraulic landscape.
