2016 Map of Valdez D-8 NW
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Eureka Roadhouse stands as the primary landmark in this subarctic corridor of the Copper River Basin, marking a historic stop along the arterial Glenn Highway. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Nelchina River and its tributary, the Little Nelchina River, which carve through the high-elevation terrain near the Matanuska-Susitna Borough boundary. To the south, the elevation rises sharply toward the prominent Heavenly Ridge, overlooking the scattered alpine waters of Twin Lakes and Nelchina Bench Lake. This mapping reflects a remote wilderness where transport and hydrology dictate the pattern of human presence, centered almost entirely on the highway that links the interior with the coast.
