1953 Map of Cordova B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The vast, braided delta of the Copper River dominates this 1950s survey of the Chugach National Forest shoreline. Fed by glacial melt, including the Saddlebag Glacier in the northwest corner, the landscape is a shifting network of sandbars, mudflats, and intricate waterways like Storey Slough and Castle Island Slough. This map captures a moment of early infrastructure development in the territory, specifically noting a route marked Under Construction with multiple Bridges crossing the western channels of the river delta.
