About this map

Klutina River flows through this mountainous region of the Unorganized Borough, providing a key hydrological landmark in a landscape defined by significant elevations. The terrain is anchored by several prominent heights, including Black Mtn in the northeast and Camp Mtn further south. To the southwest, the distinctive Sharp Peak rises above the surrounding survey sections, while Stephens Creek drains the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2016 survey highlights the raw topographical character of the Alaskan interior, showing the intricate drainage patterns and ridge lines that dictate movement and settlement in the Copper River basin. The map focuses on the physical environment, documenting the relationship between high mountain summits and the river systems that carve through the glacial-carved valleys.
