1951 Map of Gulkana A-4

About this map

The Tazlina River meanders through this portion of south-central Alaska, joined by major tributaries like Tazlina Creek and Moose Creek. The landscape is defined by the early development of the Glenn Highway corridor, which served as a vital lifeline for commerce and tourism in the mid-20th century. This survey, annotated in the early 1950s, reveals a cluster of roadside hospitality sites including the Glennallen Lodge, Ranch House Lodge, and I Bar F Lodge, marking the era's reliance on highway-based infrastructure. The nascent settlement of Glennallen is visible at the eastern edge of the map, established as a strategic junction for the Copper River region. Away from the road, a dense network of water bodies such as Twin Lakes, Mud Lake, and Plumb Bob Lake reflects a wilder interior accessible by trails and small outposts like the Campground near Tolsona Creek.
