1959 Map of Cordova C-1

About this map

Miles Glacier dominates this mid-century survey of the Chugach Mountains, where immense ice fields define the physical geography of the Alaskan interior. The landscape is characterized by a massive glacial network, including the expansive Van Cleve Glacier and the adjacent Van Cleve Lake. This 1959 field-annotated map provides a look at the frozen terrain within the Chugach National Forest, showing the detailed topography of these moving ice masses and the crevasses that mark their surfaces. The southward flow is further illustrated by the presence of Johnson Glacier and the Martin River Glacier. While the area lacks any established settlements or roads, the map meticulously records the intersection of high-altitude peaks and the frozen river systems that have shaped this portion of the National Forest Boundary.
