1953 Map of Cordova B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The vast silting landscape of the Copper River Delta dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing a complex network of shifting sandbars and mudflats where the river meets the Gulf of Alaska. To the north, the Saddlebag Glacier feeds into this hydrological system, while the Martin River joins the primary flow from the east. The map captures a moment of infrastructure development in the Alaskan wilderness, with a road marked as Under Construction and several Bridges spanning the intricate braided channels near Round Island. This region, entirely within the Chugach National Forest, is characterized by its dynamic coastal features like Long Island and Heart Island. Small navigational landmarks, such as the Kokinhenik I beacon and the survey point at VABM 122 Delta, provide fixed reference points amidst the constantly changing geography of Mud and Sand.
