1953 Map of Cordova C-3

About this map

The Copper River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, its braided channels spreading across the Copper River Delta as it flows south through the Chugach Mountains. The map captures a transition in transportation history, clearly marking an Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the river—the remains of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway which once connected the mines at Kennicott to the coast. Near the river's edge, another route is shown as Under Construction, indicating the early development of the Copper River Highway.
