1949 Map of Gulkana A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Copper River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, serving as the central topographical axis where the glacial waters of the Tazlina River merge from the west. This 1949 survey documents a critical junction of Alaskan transport, where the Richardson Highway meets the Glenn Highway near the Gateway Lodge. The presence of the Gulkana Airfield and the C A A Station highlights the era’s reliance on aviation and radio communication for navigating the interior. East of the river, the terrain rises toward Klawasi VABM 3017, characterized by numerous unnamed lakes and specific thermal features like Mineral Spring and Warm Springs. The map also captures smaller industrial footprints of the period, including a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks, used for maintaining the vital highway corridors.
