1950 Map of Cordova D-3

About this map

The Copper River flows through the eastern edge of this 1950 survey, marking a distinct boundary between the waterway and the massive glacial systems of the Chugach Mountains. The landscape is dominated by ice, featuring the expansive Schwan Glacier in the northwest and the Allen Glacier sprawling across the southern portion. This area highlights a dynamic glacial environment at mid-century, where the McCune Glacier and Shiels Glacier converge. Smaller features like Island Pt and Ginny Creek provide rare fixed points of reference amidst the shifting ice fields and numerous crevasses that define the high-altitude terrain. The map captures the raw geographical state of this remote region before the minor administrative revisions of the late 1970s.
