About this map

Mt Okumiak dominates the northern reaches of this territory, where the interior of the Kusilvak Census Area transitions from high peaks to complex drainage systems. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including King Cr and Bernhard Cr in the north, which flow through valleys carved into the high terrain. To the south, Engineer Hill stands as a prominent landmark above the wetlands and meandering paths of Spruce Cr and E Fork Spruce Cr.

This survey captures the region's hydrography in detail, illustrating how tributaries like First Chance Cr, Bud Cr, and Disappointment Cr navigate the varying elevations. The drainage patterns around Glenn Gulch reflect a land largely untouched by development, preserved as a baseline of the Alaskan wilderness. The map provides a precise account of the unnamed peaks and valleys that define the geography between these named landmarks.
