How to Use This Tazlina, Alaska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Tazlina, 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 Tazlina.
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 Tazlina, Alaska
Tazlina is a locality in Copper River, Alaska, United States. It is a small community with a population of 244. The population density is 11.5 people per km². Tazlina is located at 62.0503°N, 145.4430°W. It observes the Alaska Time (America/Anchorage) timezone. ZIP code: 99588.Tazlina sits upon a wide, glacially-fed expanse where the silt-heavy currents of the Tazlina River churn through the landscape with a persistent, rhythmic gravity. It lies 129.9 miles east-northeast of North Lakes, AK (from North Lakes, AK: bearing 75°T), and is situated 70.9 miles north-northeast of Valdez. The air here holds a crisp, biting clarity that sharpens the edges of the distant Wrangell Mountains, which rise like jagged, snow-dusted teeth against the northern sky. Beyond the immediate banks of the river, the terrain shifts into a vast, sprawling taiga, where black spruce and willow cling to the frost-hardened earth. When the subarctic light wanes, the horizon bleeds into a bruised purple, casting long, thin shadows that stretch across the tundra and emphasize the immense, hollow scale of the wilderness.
Tazlina serves as a quiet nexus for those living amidst the rugged isolation of the interior, functioning as a waypoint for travelers navigating the sparse infrastructure that defines the region. The proximity to the Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve draws those who seek the stark, untamed majesty of the high country, while the local economy remains tethered to the land’s inherent resources and the movement of goods through the corridor. Life in Tazlina follows the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons, where the hum of a passing bush plane or the distant rumble of heavy transport provides the only punctuation to an otherwise profound silence. While Tolsona Lake lies twenty miles away, its presence is felt in the stillness that settles over the lowlands, marking a landscape where humanity exists only as a transient guest of the deep, enduring woods.

About This Tazlina Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tazlina, Alaska. Coordinates: 62.050272, -145.443031. 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 Tazlina 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.
