1950 Map of Cordova B-2

About this map

Ragged Mountain dominates this portion of the Chugach National Forest, its peaks and ridgelines rising sharply above the complex drainage systems of the Gulf of Alaska coastline. The landscape is defined by the braided channels of the Martin River and its accompanying wetlands, where the Martin River Slough and Mirror Slough create a labyrinthine water system. These glacial and tidal flats separate the high peaks from the sea, showing a region where natural barriers dictated human movement.
