1959 Map of Cordova C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The glacial systems of the Chugach National Forest dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by massive ice movements and meltwater. The interaction between the Miles Glacier and Van Cleve Glacier creates a complex network of crevasses and topographical shifts near Van Cleve Lake. To the south, the Martin River Glacier and Johnson Glacier frame the southern edge of the quadrangle, while Slide Glacier occupies the high terrain in between. This map provides a detailed view of these ice bodies before more modern observations, capturing the specific extent of the glacial fronts and the indefinite National Forest Boundary as it was understood in the late 1950s.
