1951 Map of Cordova B-5

About this map

The Copper River Delta dominates this coastal survey, revealing a complex aquatic network where glacial runoff meets the Gulf Of Alaska. Most of the land is protected within the Copper River Delta State Critical Habitat Area and the Chugach National Forest, which includes the prominent Mount Robert Korn. The landscape is defined by its shifting hydrology, including the Eyak River and a series of drainage features like Alaganik Slough, Government Slough, and Eyak Slough. Small signs of human presence are sparse, indicated only by Cabins along the river banks. This survey captures a dynamic coastal environment where Copper Sands and Egg Island Channel mark the interface between the mainland and the open sea.
