About this map

Saint Anne Lake dominates the central corridor of this interior Alaskan landscape, surveyed just after the late 1940s. The terrain transitions from the water-pocked lowlands in the north to the sharp elevations of the Copper River region. The mapping reveals a wilderness structured by water and peak, where Kaina Creek feeds into the elongated Kaina Lake to the west.

Elevations rise sharply in the southern half of the quadrangle, anchored by Cranberry Peak and Wests Peak. The Copper River Base Line serves as the primary surveying reference across this roadless expanse. Notable drainage patterns are defined by Cranberry Creek and Marsh Creek, which carve through the high ground south of the lake. This edition provides a clear record of the area's natural topography before modern infrastructure, noting specific survey points like VABM Anne 3643.
