How to Use This Kenny Lake, Alaska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kenny Lake, Alaska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Kenny Lake.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Kenny Lake, Alaska
Kenny Lake is a locality in Copper River, Alaska, United States. It is a small community with a population of 234. The population density is 0.5 people per km². Kenny Lake is located at 61.6216°N, 144.8213°W. It observes the Alaska Time (America/Anchorage) timezone. ZIP code: 99573.Kenny Lake occupies a vast, silent expanse of the Copper River Basin where the muskeg yields to spruce and the horizon is defined by the distant, serrated edge of the Wrangell Mountains. It lies 142.9 miles east of North Lakes, AK (from North Lakes, AK: bearing 85°T), and is situated 61.6 miles northeast of Valdez. Willow Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the brush, its cold waters providing a rhythmic pulse to a landscape that feels suspended in the amber light of the subarctic sun. The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity that intensifies the color of the dwarf birch as autumn approaches, turning the low-lying plains into a mosaic of russet and gold. To the east, the rugged boundary of Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve looms, a reminder that the wild is not merely a destination but the very condition of existence in this high-latitude interior.
Kenny Lake serves as a quiet crossroads for those who dwell in the immense scale of the inland wilderness, where the economy is driven by self-reliance and the seasonal demands of the northern climate. Life here is measured by the slow accumulation of firewood and the maintenance of gravel roads that stretch toward the horizon, far from the influence of any coastline. While Tonsina Lake lies twenty-three miles away, the character of the region remains rooted in the terrestrial rhythms of the forest and the persistent, wandering currents of the local creeks. People here navigate the seasons with a practiced focus, finding a quiet beauty in the way the frost pattern emerges on a windowpane or how the ravens congregate in the stillness of a winter afternoon.

About This Kenny Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kenny Lake, Alaska. Coordinates: 61.621616, -144.821315. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Kenny Lake includes the ZIP code (99573), telephone area code (907), county seat of Copper River, and school district assignment (Copper River School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
