About this map

The confluence of the Copper River and the Dadina River anchors this Alaskan landscape within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Preserve. The map documents the rural development around Willow Creek and Kenny Lake, where the Old Edgerton Loop Road serves as the primary artery for local travel and transport. These settlements represent the human footprint in a region dominated by glacial drainages and dramatic elevation changes, with the Nadina River and Willow Cr cutting through the northern and southern sectors respectively. The topographic survey illustrates the braided nature of the Copper River as it passes through the glacial valleys, providing a clear record of the watershed and transportation corridor in the early 21st century.
