1951 Map of Cordova B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Carbon Camp stands as a primary focal point in this 1951 field survey, situated within the Chugach National Forest. The landscape is defined by the convergence of industrial potential and glacial terrain, marked by an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the era's transport efforts. Large water bodies including Kushtaka Lake and Bering Lake dominate the geography, fed by the massive Martin River Glacier and Kushtaka Glacier. The map records several mineral prospects and ruins north of Stillwater Creek, alongside a Landing Strip and multiple cabins that indicate a remote but active presence. High points like Mt Hamilton 2039 and Monument Mtn 2667 provide surveying benchmarks across the Shockum Mountains. From the silt-laden Bering River to the crevassed ice fields, the map captures a specific moment of mid-century exploration and land management in the Copper River Meridian.
