How to Use This Mendeltna, Alaska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mendeltna, 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 Mendeltna.
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 Mendeltna, Alaska
Mendeltna is a locality in Copper River, Alaska, United States. It is a small community with a population of 36. Mendeltna is located at 62.1461°N, 146.7580°W. It observes the Alaska Time (America/Anchorage) timezone. ZIP code: 99588.Mendeltna emerges from the vast, subarctic expanse as a quiet outpost where the horizon stretches wide across low, brush-covered plains and dense stands of spruce. It lies 97.9 miles east-northeast of North Lakes, AK (from North Lakes, AK: bearing 70°T), and is situated 97.2 miles east-northeast of Gateway. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity, often illuminated at dusk by a low-slung, amber light that highlights the textures of the muskeg and the deep, mossy shadows of the taiga. Woods Creek meanders through the periphery of the landscape, its cold, clear waters carving a subtle path through the earth, while the distant, jagged silhouette of the Chugach Mountains anchors the southern sky. Four miles to the north, the quiet surface of Nickoli Lake reflects the changing moods of the clouds, a mirror for the endless, shifting patterns of the northern weather.
Mendeltna serves as a pragmatic point of pause for those traversing the interior, its economy shaped by the rhythms of the road and the necessities of life in a remote corridor. The history of the region is written in the persistence of those who adapt to the long, dark winters and the brief, explosive energy of the growing season. Beyond the immediate settlement, the expansive Nelchina Public Use Area provides a vast, unpopulated canvas for the movement of wildlife, maintaining a wilderness character that dictates the pace of everyday existence. Life in Mendeltna maintains a deliberate, measured gravity, where the presence of the pipeline and the occasional drone of a bush plane serve as the only interruptions to a profound, pervasive silence.

About This Mendeltna Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mendeltna, Alaska. Coordinates: 62.146098, -146.758031. 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 Mendeltna includes the ZIP code (99588), 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.
