2016 Map of Valdez D-5 NW

About this map

Nickel Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainages across this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by significant elevation changes and glacial-carved terrain. In the southeast, Hudson Lake sits as a prominent landmark amongst the shifting topography of the Unorganized Borough. This 2016 survey emphasizes the complex township and range system, including t2n r3w and t1n r3w, which provide a vital framework for navigation in a region defined by its hydrography and natural contours rather than human settlements. The map's detailed contour lines illustrate the intricate rise and fall of the Copper River basin uplands during the early twenty-first century.
