2023 Map of Valdez D-5 NW

About this map

Nickel Creek meanders through this portion of the Copper River Census Area, carving a path through a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and intricate drainage patterns. The waterway dominates the western half of the map, while Hudson Lake sits toward the eastern edge, providing a focal point for the surrounding topography. This 2023 survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where the absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the undisturbed natural state of the terrain. The map serves as a primary record of the hydrography and public land survey divisions, including the boundaries of T3N R3W and T1N R4W, which are essential for navigating and understanding this particular Alaskan wilderness.
