About this map

Copper Center serves as a focal point at the confluence of the Klutina River and the Copper River, where the Richardson Highway facilitates movement through the territory. This mid-century survey reveals a transition in land use, documenting several deactivated government sites including the U S School Reserve (Abandoned), an U S Experiment Station Reserve (Abandoned), and a U S Mil Res (Abandoned) south of the main U S Military Reservation. The presence of an Airfield and a Gaging Sta near the town center underscores the area's importance for transportation and environmental monitoring. The rugged terrain is punctuated by significant peaks like Stuck Mountain and Willow Mountain, while the Edgerton Cut-Off branches east toward the Nadina River. A notable survey detail is the Willow Creek Base Line established between the Willow Creek North Base and Willow Creek South Base.
