About this map

Mentasta Lake sits as a central landmark within this interior Alaskan landscape, where the headwaters of several critical drainage systems converge. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition between the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area and the Copper River Census Area, a boundary that follows the high ridges of the eastern Alaska Range. Sikonsina Pass provides a notable high-altitude crossing point, while the Tok River and Timber Creek carve deep valleys through the surrounding slopes. The presence of Bartell Creek in the southern reaches of the quadrangle further emphasizes the area’s importance as a watershed. This survey captures a wilderness environment largely untouched by permanent modern development, focusing instead on the hydrography and topography that have dictated travel through these mountains for generations.
