About this map

Tonsina Lake anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape in the Copper River Census Area, where the terrain is defined by the complex hydrology of the Chugach Mountains. Several drainages, including Manker Creek, Twin Lake Creek, and Greyling Creek, carve through the steep elevations. The map reveals the intricate natural drainage patterns that flow into the larger Copper River basin. Land divisions are clearly marked by township and range lines, such as t3s r2w and t4s r3w, which provide essential reference points for land use and resource management in this region. This survey illustrates the untouched character of the Alaskan interior, showing a landscape without roads or permanent settlements, where only the water bodies and surveying boundaries provide a framework for orientation.
