Chuitna River (Alaska)
The Chuitna River, sometimes called the Chuit,〔(Chuitna River Aerial Photo ) Photo courtesy of the Alaska Center for the Environment http://www.akcenter.org〕 emerges from a broad expanse of forest and wetlands west of Anchorage and drains into Cook Inlet. The river and its tributaries support all five species of Pacific salmon, Dolly Varden and trout,〔(Chuit River:General Information )〕 and the region is home to abundant wildlife, including moose, wolves, and bears.〔(1990 Final Environmental Impact Statement (Diamond Chuitna Coal Project) ) Pages 4-14 through 4-24〕〔(2006 Baseline Studies, Wildlife and Marine Birds )〕 The area attracts sports fishing and hunting enthusiasts, and supports subsistence hunting and fishing activities. River fish stocks enhance Cook Inlet salmon populations.〔(Chuit River Land Status and Access Map )〕
==Description==
The Chuitna's length courses from its headwaters at the base of the Alaska Range to its mouth at Cook Inlet between the remote Alaska villages of Tyonek and Beluga on the west shore of upper Cook Inlet. The waterway and its tributaries are vital to the subsistence lifestyles of local residents whose villages are not connected to Alaska's road system. Though marked on some maps as "highways," the only roads in the area are primitive structures left behind from past oil and gas exploration and logging activities. The piedmont lowlands are covered in birch, poplar, and spruce forests and muskeg. Toward the northwest, the topography rises to a treeless plateau that extends to the Alaska Range. The local climate varies between maritime and continental, with annual rainfall measuring about 100 cm in the Chuitna River basin.〔(1984 Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys )〕
